Student Handbook

Dear Students and Parents:

Welcome to the Intermediate School Family!  We serve approximately 700 students in grade 3 – 5.  The school was built in 1969, but was extensively remodeled in 2011.  We have created an optimally safe and positive learning environment for each and every child and adult here.  

Our school is committed to providing a strong educational program for our children.  We are devoted to creating a nurturing, safe and welcoming school climate for our families and students.  We encourage family involvement and want to work as partners with parents to provide the best educational experience for our children.

This handbook was created to help you learn about our policies, procedures and expectations as a member of the Princeton Intermediate community.  As with most printed material, unforeseen circumstances may warrant some changes as we go through the school year.  However, we have made an attempt to give you clear and accurate information that will be valuable as we go through the school year.  It is not possible to include policies and procedures that will encompass every situation that comes up during a school year.  When unique situations arise, IS staff will do their best to make positive decisions based on the information we have.

We want all students to be happy at school and to learn all that they possibly can.  Student success is very important.  To make sure students are successful we have a program called Tiger Pride:

I will Respect.….Myself…..Others.....Property..…Community

Tiger Pride addresses the entire school; classroom, hallway, bus, cafeteria and lunchroom. Our goal is to work as a team to learn more, support each other and have fun in the process.  We have seen an overall reduction in major office referrals since we began using Tiger Pride in 2005. We strive to give each student the level of support they need to be successful both academically and socially.

We added the concept of Earning your STRIPES last year to help students focus on specific attributes. 

S - Self-Control
T - Teachable
R - Respectful
I - Integrity
P - Positivity
E - Empathetic
S - Safe

Please contact us if you have questions, comments or concerns about what is found within these pages.  Additional information can be found on our district web page at www.isd477.org.

We look forward to another fantastic school year!

Sincerely,

John Beach
Principal
