NOTE TO ADULTS/GUARDIANS: I sincerely want to thank PARENTS/GUARDIANS who are very responsive to phone calls home and who make a difference in the way their child conducts his/herself in class! I have had parents stop what they were doing immediately to come up to the school and parents who spoke to their children in the hall on the phone to drastically impact negative student behaviors. Thankyou! Thankyou! Thankyou!! Positive calls home will happen when I see outstanding student activities and actions! Please encourage your child to respect authority and others, cooperate with school policies and procedures and be a productive learner inside the classroom under teacher direction and outside the classroom using self guided initiative.
