WHAT IS T.R.A.C.?
The goal is to create positive relationships and an atmosphere where each student feels connected, cared about, and physically and emotionally safe.

TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE BEEN UP TO:
Just Breathe: The Key to Self-Regulation
“Between stimulus and response there is a space.
In that space is our power to choose our response.
In our response lies our growth and our freedom."
Every classroom has a breathing triangle to help students (and teachers) stay regulated
Breathe IN for 3 seconds
HOLD for 3 seconds
Breathe OUT for 3+ seconds

SAVE THE DATE: The BIG PICNIC
Mix-It-Up @ Lunch is a campaign developed from a national organization called Teaching Tolerance and it is part of our TRAC initiative in building a positive school culture and community. It is an event in which students "mix-it-up" at lunch, picnic style and sit with someone new, creating opportunities for connection & friendship. Some children are inherently more shy or may struggle to make friends, making lunchtime feel lonely.
***We encourage your child to bring a lunch from home (hot lunch still available) as well as a blanket or towel to sit on for our all-school picnic. Each grade level will have a "color" to wear that day.
***More details to come****
