Parent Supports for their Growing Students

Our amazing Behavior Coach, Mr. Jimmy Boyle, was kind enough to share these helpful resources for parents. Please feel free to review these documents as needed to support your child at home.

What is Executive Functioning

Expectation Walks

When students return from break on January 3rd, each class will partake in a variety of expectation walks to review expected behavior within the school following our CHAMPS expectations, in the bathroom, hallway, lining up, entering, exiting, recess, & lunch. We are very excited to include 5th-grade students in co-presenting these expectations. The classroom teachers will individually review their classroom expectations as well.

Parking Lot Reminders

Please remember that drivers should NOT use Cell Phones while driving. Please refrain from using it within the school zone.

If you are picking up your child at the end of the day, please do NOT call for your child or wave them to cross the cross-walk alone. To ensure EVERYONE'S safety, please walk to get your child through the cross-walk.

Thank you for everyone's support!!
