Falcons Choose Kindness
We are nearing the end of our first grading period! You will receive certificates from Mr. Grant to award to students in your classroom who are showing evidence of each of our core values. Our October Falcon Award's assembly will be on Thursday, October 10th. Look for the schedule coming soon. It will either be the first 15 minutes of specials or the last 15 min. Teachers fill out and present the certificates during the assemblies. You also invite the parents of all recipients to attend. The assemblies take place in the gym.
Walking the 'Falcon life' is centered around our core values:
- Respect: We will show respect to others and ourselves.
- Advocate for others: We will advocate for the needs of our friends and ourselves.
- Creative Thinker: We will create solutions to problems by thinking creatively and working collaboratively with others.
- Growth: We will set personal goals to improve academically and behaviorally as we monitor our progress.
- Engaged Learner: We will engage in meaningful learning opportunities and encourage our peers to learn with us.
We celebrate our students each week for demonstrating these values. Celebrations take place in the classroom, through Falcon Brag Tags, Student of the Week, and our awards assemblies at the end of each grading period.

Sunshine Committee Plans for Lots of Rays of Sunshine This Year
- We will be doing some sort of monthly mood booster. This month it will be " I've been boo'ed". ---- I will put two in each sunshine committee members box. Please boo a staff member of your choosing as well as leaving them a blank one to continue on and boo someone else as well. Please Please keep this going. We really want to lighten up our co workers days.
- We will also be doing staff shout outs this year. I will be leaving a small stack by the staff mailboxes. If a staff member shines for ANY reason write them a small note and put it in there box. This reminds us we are all appreciated. That we are truly better together. If you prefer to do a larger shout out. Something you feel the whole school staff should know I will have the larger staff shout outs on my desk in the library. Pick one up write your message and bring it back to me. I will post it for all to see anonymous to everyone who the shouter is.
- We agreed to keep membership dues the same that they where last year. $25 for teachers $10 for Para-Professionals and Support Staff. The sign up forms will be placed in everyone's boxes once I have sent out the email to all staff. Please pay cash for your dues. All dues are due by October 31st!
