Family Update 11/18/22

 

November 18, 2022

Dear Parents/Guardians:

Thanks to so many of you for coming out to Tiger Pride Family Night.  We served 625 meals and enjoyed opening our doors and spending some time together.  If you missed the short Tiger Pride presentation in the gym, here is a copy of the slides - Family Night Presentation.

It was an honor for us to host the Veterans Day parade last week.  We have put together a video of some interviews of our local veterans and the entire parade - Veterans Day Video.

We have a short week for the next two weeks in the district.  There is no school from November 24 - November 29.

Tiger Bingo is on Wednesday, November 23!  Students will run down the hallway when they get a bingo.  It’s a Princeton tradition that we are starting up again.

Would your family be interested in hosting an International Teaching Intern from a Spanish speaking country? Our schools (Primary and Intermediate) have the great opportunity of hosting international interns who work in the Spanish Immersion program.  Please contact Andrea Preppernau at andrea.preppernau@isd477.org for more information.

Take care,

John Beach

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.

We are looking for volunteers for our Book Fair, which is April 30, May 1, May 2, May 3.  Use this form to sign up for a time to help - Intermediate Book Fair- volunteer sign-up.

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.
