Fall is Approaching
After this week, it will officially be fall! I do love this time of year. This is when I miss the east coast the most. The diverse colors of the trees and the anticipation of the upcoming holiday season always brought joy. In Colorado, it is time to get up to the mountains and see the beautiful colors of the Aspen trees. I hope you are able to take some time as fall descends to explore our great state.
I want to highlight a few things in this week's newsletter. I have been meeting with classes to present our code of conduct. We believe it is important to remind our students of behavior expectations and continue to elevate those behaviors we want to see every day. Our PBIS (positive behavior intervention & supports) promotes this throughout the year. Our older students should be familiar with a Colorado program called Safe2Tell. This is for students and parents. It is an anonymous program for students to report and allows for schools to respond. We continue to look at providing new ways for students to have extraordinary experiences at school. I am very excited for the upcoming opportunities for our students.
Have a wonderful week!
Cheers,
Bruce Lindsey
