PBIS
What does PBIS stand for? Positive Behavior Interventions and Support. PBIS is a proactive positive systems approach for creating and maintaining safe and effective learning environments in schools. Each morning our students start the day with our PAWS chant, and the chant is tied in with our matrices. This month, we will feature our PAWS matrix for restrooms. We want to focus on keeping our school healthy and clean.

Nature Trails Field Trip Rescheduled
The Nature Trails Field Trip has been rescheduled for Monday, April 15, 2019 and Tuesday, April 16, 2019. Below are a few suggestions to help make our day run smoothly. Please return the field trip permission slip to your child’s teacher by Monday, April 8, 2019. Students without signed permission slips will be unable to attend. We are unable to accept handwritten notes.
- · Students must wear long pants and appropriate shoes (ex. tennis shoes), or they will not be able to attend.
- · Students need to dress in layers because they will be outside all day.
- · If your child takes medication, make sure you have signed the medication permission slip.
- · Your child will need to bring a lunch from home or get a box lunch from the cafeteria. If bringing from home, please place the lunch in a lunch kit. We are trying to reduce the amount of trash. If at all possible, place sandwiches in containers that can be brought back home.
- · Please spray your child’s clothes with bug spray the night before and let dry.
- · Apply insect repellent and sunscreen on your child before your child comes to school. You may send lotion or pump repellent with your child, not aerosol. Please note any allergies your child may have to insect bites or stings.
- Your child will attend with their homeroom on the following dates. We need parent volunteers to help lead the students through some of the activities. Please contact your child’s homeroom teacher if you are able to help. They can demonstrate what is needed at each station on the day that you attend.
