Siple Spotlight
There are no spectators in education! September 30, 2019
It's Homecoming Week!
It is also very important to continue regular routines and expectations in order to maintain good discipline and a strong learning environment. Please take time on Monday to talk with your students about the fact that we can have fun spirit days as long as we continue to follow the Cardinal Code and put forth our best work effort. I realize I might sound like Debbie Downer above and I assure you that is not my intention. School climate is just as fragile as our environmental climate. When we review the data of weeks before holidays or breaks when special "fun" activities are scheduled at school we see spikes in behavior referrals. You have all worked very hard to establish wonderful routines and behavior and I want to protect your efforts and the students' success. Let's celebrate Homecoming together with our students in a positive and productive manner. Go Cards!
