This month, we ask each of you to give thanks; thanks to the Lord for the gift of life, His guidance and love, to the families and friends in which we are surrounded, and the spirit that is present in ourselves. It is with this gratitude and appreciation that we can act upon and carry out the missions and behaviors of our Savior. Take the time to notice the little things in life that have an impact on you, and determine how you can make a difference to others.
With Best,
Miss Dana Weaverling and Mrs. Dina Conners

BE RESPECTFUL, BE EMPATHETIC, BE RESPONSIBLE
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports:In May of 2018, the PBIS program was introduced to our students through lesson plans and consistent modeling. PBIS stands for Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports. We have adopted this program to encourage good behavior and consider this as important as academics. The key to PBIS is prevention, not punishment. Expectations for Responsibility, Empathy, and Respect- The 3 B's for Arrival/Dismissal, Hallways, Lunchroom, Church, Bathrooms, Recess Yard, and Transitions have been presented to the student body and the different matrices are displayed and visible throughout both buildings in the corresponding areas. "Cardinal Cash" will be used by all teachers and administration when a student is caught showing one of the 3 B's outside of the classroom. Teachers will continue to use their own unique reward systems in their classrooms.

All students and parents are responsible for tracking progress and grades throughout the course of the year, which is available on Option C; https://www.optionc.com/corporate/home/login/school-login/8154
