Baier's Box
We have recently seen and uptick in vandalism in our bathrooms as well as an uptick in students being tardy to class.
Families, I encourage you to talk with your student(s) on the importance of making good choices, leading by example and not succumbing to peer pressure. We have taken measures on our part with increased supervision of hallways during passing periods in order to minimize the opportunity for vandalism in our bathrooms.
Students, please maintain PRIDE expectations in our bathrooms and report any vandalism to Mr. Baier, Mrs. Hall or your teachers.
Families, I also encourage you to talk to your student(s) about the importance of getting to class in a timely manner. Class time is valuable and any time that is missed is crucial to their learning.
Students, step up to the plate and hustle to class!
