Arrival Reminders
Please do not drop your child off in front of the office until after 7:45. The drive in front of our office is used for bus drop off. You may drop off your student in front of the office after 7:45. Students arriving after 7:45 are tardy and will need to sign in before going to class.
February Character Trait - Fairness
Fairness is our Viking Character Trait for the month of February. Throughout the month, Mrs. Slaughter will be visiting classrooms to talk to students about the importance of fairness in disagreeing respectfully, negotiating, and compromising.
Parents are encouraged to talk to their students about the importance of fairness by encouraging them to:
• Play by the rules;
• Take turns and share;
• Be open-minded and listen to others;
• Avoid taking advantage of others;
• Avoid blaming others carelessly; and
• Treat all people fairly.
