Building a Culture of Kindness!
This month our Stingrays have been busy building a culture of kindness. Our 6th grade students were treated to a wonderful anti-bullying presentation called "Don't Be A Monster". Students learned abut the impact of bullying and strategies to decrease bullying. On October, 11th our students and teachers signed the Declaration of Respect, pledging to demonstrate respect for themselves and others. Our students also learned about cyber bullying and signed a pledge to not use their devices as weapons. Stingrays participated in Red Ribbon Week as we discussed drug prevention and making healthy choices. All of these initiatives are a part of us all working together to create a positive culture at Vale. We are extremely proud of our Stingrays and how hard they are working to be the best RAYS they can be!

Fall In Love With Learning at Vale
On October, 29th we invite you to our fall learning event. We will have student led conferences where you will have an opportunity to sit with your child as they share with you what they have been learning and discuss growth and future learning opportunities. We are working this year as a campus to have students set educational goals and monitor their learning progress and this event provides a perfect opportunity for them to discuss learning with you. At this event we will also have a fine arts showcase, arts and crafts, food trucks, a health fair and a club rush where you can learn about many of our clubs and look for ways your child can connect with students who have similar interests! You won't want to miss this amazing event, come out and Fall in Love with Learning at Vale!

PBIS Year 3
As we begin year 3 of PBIS we are so excited about how PBIS has positively impacted our campus. PBIS is an initiative that serves to increase positive student behavior in students by teaching the positive behaviors we want to see and providing incentives to encourage those behaviors. Students earn RAYS PAYS by demonstrating positive behaviors and they can spend those RAYS PAYS on Fridays at our PBIS store. The store sells everything from small toys to Stingray gear or shadowing your favorite staff member for a day. This month we also had our very first PBIS Movie Night and students came out and used their RAYS PAYS to watch a movie on a Friday evening. It was an awesome event! As we started the school year off we have certainly seen an increase in positive student behavior on our campus. Our Stingrays are simply amazing!
