A Message From Dr. Flowers- Principal
Dear Families:
Today was the last day of the second nine weeks. I cannot believe we are already half way done with the school year! Report cards will be going home next Friday. We will also be having our second nine weeks awards assembly. If your child received an award they should have a paper coming home letting you know which award(s) they are receiving.
Just a reminder there is no school tomorrow, January 20th. We have a PTA meeting on Monday, January 23rd at 6:00pm in the school library. There is also the option to attend via Zoom if you can’t make it. We hope to see you there. Have a great weekend!
Thanks,
Barb Flowers

PBIS CORNER
What is PBIS?
Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports is an important part of the school environment to encourage positive behavior. There are clear expectations throughout the school that are taught consistently throughout the year. The four expectations promoted at Field Local Schools are:
Safe
Outstanding
Accountable
Respectful
When students do not respond to teaching of the building or classroom expectations, we will view it as an opportunity for re-teaching, not just negative consequences. Students still receive consequences for negative behavior. The goal of the consequence is to teach students so they will not repeat the negative behavior.
