Happy New Year!

Welcome back!

After any long break teachers and staff often spend time reviewing school expectations and agreements.  Can you name our agreements?  Can your child?  (I hope so!). Here they are:

• Enjoyment- 

  • White River School community values joy for all students, staff, and families and we actively work to cultivate enjoyment and positive mindsets.

• Safety- 

  • White River School community values safety and that all students and staff experience a strong sense of physical and emotional safety.

• Achievement-

  • White River School community believes that through reflection of achievements and awareness of our own competence comes growth and wellbeing.

• Compassion

  • White River School community works to uphold an unconditional positive regard for each other

• Collaborative Community

  • White River School community works to build a trusting environment to promote growth of each individual and the school as a whole.

(A full breakdown of our values and responses at White River School can be seen in our handbook or here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1b9ZeJaupc1PyFcVt2h2vqaE6ebj-UyGpkLt54eOi70Y/edit?usp=sharing

We celebrate these values and agreements at every All School Meeting with Hawk-Warts Letters.  Our next assembly is tomorrow @ 8 AM.
