For the month of April, our PBIS theme has been Responsibility in Relationships. We want to focus on helping students understand the importance of being accountable for how they treat others. Responsibility in relationships means being honest, respectful, and supportive, as well as recognizing the impact their words and actions have on their peers, teachers, and family members.
Teachers encouraged students to take ownership of their role in building healthy, positive relationships. Whether it's resolving conflicts, being a good listener, or showing kindness, their efforts can strengthen the bonds they share with others.
Congratulations to these students of the month for April! Not pictured: Riddick.

Congratulations to our March students of the month! These students were nominated by their teachers for displaying 'respect for community'.
The March PBIS theme was Respect for Community. Staff encouraged students to understand the importance of contributing to and caring for the community around them—whether it’s their classroom, school, or neighborhood. Respect for community means taking pride in shared spaces, supporting others, and understanding how individual actions can positively or negatively affect the larger group.
As we focused on this theme, staff inspired students to engage in activities that strengthened our community, such as keeping common areas clean, being kind and inclusive, and showing support for school events and initiatives.
