PBIS Update

We're focusing on "hard work" for the month of October.  With daily quotes in the morning bulletin and opportunities for students to reflect on their attitude and effort, we want all Sea Kings to appreciate the value of working hard towards their goals.  Parents, you can reinforce this idea.  Help your child(ren) develop a growth mindset by praising effort instead of results.  Instead of saying, "Great job on the test; you're so smart," try saying, "I noticed how well you focused while studying."  For more tips, visit MindsetWorks
 
PVIS celebrated the first Fri-Yay! of the school year.  Highlights of the day included the Fun Sock Friday raffle, Dominos pizzas for students who had their names drawn for having been their "PVIS BEST," and the announcement of September's SPARK award recipients (Students Practicing Attitudes of Respect and Kindness).  Congratulations!

Looking ahead-
  • Digital Citizenship Week is the 3rd week in October.  We are excited to bring "Screenagers" to campus.  The film may be a few years old, but the topic remains timely.  All students will view the film in their Social Studies class.  SAVE THE DATE: A special showing for parents will take place on Tuesday, October 25th.  More details to come.
  • Red Ribbon Week is the 4th week in October.  We look forward to a week of activities to raise awareness, educate, and encourage students to lead drug-free lives.
