My Project

As the 2026–2027 school year gets underway, our students are working hard to achieve their goals, make positive choices, and grow academically. Our school prides itself on creating a family-centered culture where every student feels included, valued, and supported.

Through our PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) program, students earn points for demonstrating good citizenship, inclusion, making responsible choices, discipline, meeting expectations, and showing academic growth.

Students can then redeem their hard-earned points for rewards of their choice.

I am requesting a variety of chips, candy, and snacks to stock our PBIS reward shelf. These treats are always student favorites and provide a simple but meaningful way to recognize their hard work and positive behavior. For our students, choosing a favorite snack is more than receiving a treat—it is a reminder that their effort, growth, and good choices are noticed and celebrated.

Our PBIS program encourages students to develop positive habits such as responsibility, kindness, perseverance, and good decision-making—skills they can carry with them beyond the classroom.

With your support, we can continue celebrating our students and motivating them to make positive choices each day. Thank you for helping us reward their efforts, encourage their growth, and inspire them to keep reaching for success!
