WE ARE WARRIOR PROUD
Great Start
Thank you everyone for a great start to the school year! I know our students are feeling a little bit of a change to the start of their school year, and for the better! One experience is the change in our deliver of expected behavior. Our Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) team has work diligently last year and through out the summer to provide a positive start to the school year. As a team we have worked to become more consistent on our delivery of expectations and how we model and teach our school wide expectations. Our expectations for a positive school learning environment are be safe, be responsible, and be respectful.

New Social Emotional Program
As part of our of our universal supports, our support staff will be working with classes during their EPIC period teaching the Second Step curriculum twice a month. Transitioning to middle school can be tough. The research based Second Step program helps schools teach and model essential communication, coping, and decision-making skills that help adolescents navigate around common pitfalls such as peer pressure, substance abuse, and bullying (both in person and online). Our goal for teaching this program is to support a more inclusive environment that helps students stay in school, make good choices, and experience social and academic success.
