Ms. Bell's Briefings

As we approach the end of the school year, we ask for your partnership in reinforcing our expectations for student behavior. This time of year can bring excitement and frustration, but students are expected to maintain self‑control and make safe, respectful choices at all times. Physical contact of any kind is not acceptable, and retaliation is never permitted—regardless of who may be upset or involved. Feeling angry, embarrassed, or frustrated does not give anyone the right to become physical or act out toward others.

We encourage families to talk with students about managing emotions, walking away from conflict, and seeking adult support when problems arise. Together, we can ensure a safe, positive, and successful end to the school year for all students and staff.
