The season of Lent is before us, as we are encouraged to act upon the elements of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. This is an ideal opportunity to place ourselves before God to strengthen our connections, think of other to encourage compassion, and lend a helping hand to share the goodness of grace. Following a path of the like embraces the mission of SAS and the true meaning of this forty-day journey.

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
