New years promote new changes, directions, and meaning to shine in the light of Christ. We can embrace fresh starts to increase our morals, intellect, socialization, and much more. It is within this month, that we can set goals to achieve the latter and represent the true visions of God, the Father. Together, we shall work towards a community of Life and a civilization of Love in 2020!
With Happiness and Cheer,

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.
