A Message from Mr. Garrett
Dear Mustang Families,
This week I met with 5th & 6th graders that were available from 7:50-8:00 in the auditorium. The topic we discussed was "conflict". We are past the honeymoon of school starting, and just around the corner is the end of 1st quarter. As school moves into October, conflict and disagreements do and will occur. I shared that is a normal part of everyone's life, not just a middle school student’s. Sometimes however it is how we handle those conflicts that separates adult and middle school students. When conflicts arise, we talked about ways to remain respectful and utilize an adult advocate as needed.
I hope you have a great, conflict free weekend at your house!
