Stuck Inside
We were stuck inside most of the week for recess. The weather was just too cold to play outdoors! Luckily, we love the extra time spent with our classmates!
Building Our Classroom Cultures
PBIS Assemblies
Each month all K-5 students attend a PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention and Support) assembly with their grade level. We would like to start sharing pieces of that information with you to support their learning at home as well as encourage these skills. This month they will learn about color zones for feeling identification and how to use a break space to get back on track so they can do their best. Here are a couple short videos the students will see:

Home owners, renters who pay heating/utility costs, and renters with heat included in their rent may apply to EAP. You must live in Goodhue, Rice, Olmsted, or Wabash county in order to apply.
