A Note From the Principal
Our school year is off to an amazing start! Our staff has been enjoying our time building relationships with your children and creating a strong Huffman Community where students feel safe and valued.
One of the things that our staff participated in this summer was a training on Conscious Discipline. The core values of this organization is very much in line with the Social Emotional learning, Positive Behavior Supports, Restorative Practices and IB PYP Learner Profile Traits and Attitudes that are already in place at Huffman. I encourage you to visit https://consciousdiscipline.com/ for more information on how behaviors, problems and social emotional welling being is addressed for our Hawks.
I am sharing one video in particular below that was very informative and inspiring. It showcases the beliefs of Conscious Discipline.
In the coming weeks I will share more information on the other practices mentioned above for our new families and as a refresher for our returning families.
Sincerely,
Jamey J Allen
