Each year we like to get feedback from families, students, and our staff.  This year we are having each group take a version of a climate survey.  We will use the survey results to help us plan the future.  The family survey has 21 questions and is given with an online link.  These are the questions for the family climate survey.  

During weather closures, delays, and bus notification, timely messaging is essential. We want to make sure you’re getting important school updates quickly, and text messaging is proving to be more reliable for many families.

Do you have a 5th grader this year?  Here is a link with more information regarding registering for the Middle School - 6th Grade Registration.

 As a principal, I have the opportunity to work through conflicts between students on a daily basis.  Students at this age are learning how to deal with emotions and situations involving conflicts with others.  One of the biggest challenges for our students is responding positively when someone is not kind to you.  Many times a student will say something mean back or become physical with the other student.  We continue to encourage students to tell the other person to stop and report it if the behavior continues.  That way I can work with the other student for their poor choice rather than needing to speak with two students who made less than positive choices.

Is it bullying?  We field many reports of situations that have been called bullying.  In most cases they don’t fit the definition of bullying.  While we still want to be aware of these situations and deal with them, we also want to give a clear definition of what bullying is.
