Reward Trip

Students who displayed good citizenship during the 1st Quarter earned a fun afternoon on Thursday, November 6 at Altitude Trampoline Park. The trip was to promote and reward behavior that displays self-growth, responsibility, and self-discipline. There will be another fun, reward trip planned for late January.

Students who wish to earn the reward should strive for these good choices:

• Arrive to all classes on time
• Use school appropriate language
• Be attentive during class
• Follow directions
• Have positive peer relationships
• Prompt return to class when using the restrooms or water fountains

Every student is capable of meeting those expectations.

Utilizing Breaks

Students with IEPs may have an accommodation for utilizing breaks. A break during a rigorous academic class can provide a mental, emotional, and/or physical reset if used appropriately. The purpose of the break is to quickly return to learning and activities. If used inappropriately, breaks can lead to missed lessons and gaps in learning.

The 1st Quarter officially ended on Friday, October 31. However, students have through Tuesday, November 4 to submit any late assignments. Students should speak with their teachers on Monday for details.
