When students are respectful, responsible, and safe they earn gems for their class jar. Then when the jar is full, students have a class reward, such as extra recess, PJ day, or bringing a stuffed animal for a day. Those full jars go toward a count for a school reward. The goal is to fill 25 jars to earn an all-school BINGO party. We inform the students of the progress weekly. On Thursday, Oct. 31 they reached their goal!!!! We are planning the BINGO party for the week of November 12, so proud of them!
Activity Expectations
Activity Expectations
Our Winter activity season is getting underway. We encourage all students and families to attend extracurricular activities at our school. These are fun social events that help build school and community pride. We want our children to attend these activities, and we expect them to watch the activity they attend and cheer on our Bison!
This letter is a simple reminder regarding student conduct at events.
Basketball - Students are asked to sit in the bleachers to watch the games.
Concerts & Plays - Students are asked to remain seated during a performance/song.
Students who are playing and/or wandering during a game or event will be reminded of the expectation to watch the event. If that does not resolve the issue, children will be instructed to sit with their parents for the remainder of the activity/event. If you do not attend the event with your child/children, student(s) will be limited to the seating provided during the game/event and asked to leave if they fail to follow the rules. We will visit with our students about these expectations, and we ask that you have a conversation with them at home as well.
Thank you for partnering with us to teach our students to follow “The Bison Way” - Be safe, be responsible, and be respectful. Go Bison!
