Handbook Highlight: Literacy

Families can positively influence students’ progress towards attaining literacy growth and achievement by:
  • Regularly discussing with your child and monitoring what they have learned from day to day.
  • Keeping in close contact with students’ teachers to discuss students’ progress.
  • Teaching students’ the importance and enjoyment of learning and celebrating accomplishments.
  • Making your child aware of the benefits and importance of reading, writing, and oral expression by ensuring materials are readily available and engaging in literacy activities and experiences.

Spotlight on Our PBIS Voice Level Chart

Our PBIS Voice Level Chart, displayed throughout classrooms and common areas, helps students understand and manage their voice volume based on the setting—whether it’s a quiet library moment, collaborative group work, or lively recess. Having clear expectations supports a calm, respectful environment where everyone can focus, learn, and feel safe. It also empowers students to self-regulate and communicate appropriately, building positive habits that extend beyond the classroom. Together, we continue to foster a community of respect and responsibility!
