PBIS Event #3 Magician, March 14
We’re just 5 school days away from our PBIS event and the end of the third nine weeks! We want as many students as possible to attend, but they must earn it by following CPE expectations every day.
Let’s continue to spotlight and positively reinforce the behaviors we want to see—respectful hallway movement, safe choices at recess, good manners at lunch, engaged learning in the classroom, and responsible behavior on the bus. A consistent, positive message from all of us will help students stay on track and motivated to do their best.
Thank you for your dedication and support! Your encouragement makes a huge impact, and together, we can help our students finish these last 5 days strong.
