The Spring FACT times/locations is linked below for your information.
Submit an updated transportation roster to the front office if you have any new students, students with new addresses, or need to delete any students who have moved. We use these transportation forms regularly to verify afternoon transportation and accurate information facilitates on-time dismissal.
THE VOYAGE - RESPONSIBILITY
In January we will encourage and celebrate RESPONSIBILITY. *Lessons 2 and 3 are linked below in case you need them.
RESPONSIBILITY is making good choices and owning your behavior. Our first action point is doing what you are asked to do.
Expectations: Use resources as you see fit (linked below or through Voyage portal). Target talk and recognize times when you see students exhibiting responsibility.
Continue to encourage and recognize kindness and use the Be the "I" in KIND backdrop as you see fit and feel free to text images to Appleyard.
