From Your Captain
If you have incidents involving students and sexual harassment or anything of a sexual nature, no matter the age, the incident MUST be documented on an Incident Report Form and turned in to Mrs. Helton immediately. This is per our sexual harassment Safe Schools training.
Conscious Discipline
We have noticed that many behavior incidents are occurring at recess. Please RETEACH recess expectations/procedures when you return from Christmas. Other procedures should be retaught as well based on demonstrated need.
