Ringing in the New Year
We are excited to see everyone on January 3rd. As we move into 2019, we want to re-visit some safety reminders to make sure that we keep all students safe.
In the morning, carpool is the safest drop off location for students. Outside of the school is a no parking zone which means that students should not be dropped off on Pond Street. Between passing school buses and cars on a narrow road, it is not safe.
Briarcliff will be hosting the Second Quarter Positivity Project Celebration is January 18th. It is now a school day. We look forward to honoring students and their families at the celebration.
Our students have done an amazing job integrating the character strengths into their every day language. If you have any stories to share about how the Positivity Project has come up at home share them by using this link.
One family shared earlier this year that their dinnertime conversation was about having an open mind. What is your story?
Excited to start 2019,
Mrs. Raiford
