Together We Can Be H.E.R.O.s (Help, Encourage, & Respect Others)
P.B.I.S. is our Positive Behavioral Intervention and Support program which has been established with school-wide expectations to teach the students what expectations look like across the many settings on our school's campus. Our school's PBIS Motto is TOGETHER WE CAN BE H.E.R.O.S (Help, Encourage, and Respect Others). Our three PBIS behavioral expectations for our school campus are: BE SAFE, BE RESPECTIFUL AND BE RESPONSIBLE. Our teachers will be conducting lessons in various locations across our campus teaching the students what each expectation looks like and doesn't look like. These lessons will occur in an on-going manner throughout the school year. This program will promote a positive, growth mindset for all students.PBIS Parent Information Letter

Hand washing plays an important role in preventing the spread of germs. Here are some basic principles of hand hygiene awareness recommended by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
- Wash your hands when they are dirty and before eating. Use soap and warm water for 20 seconds or alcohol based cleaner.
- Do not cough or sneeze into your hands. Use a tissue or cough and sneeze into your upper arm.
- Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth with dirty hands.
- Remember, there is no substitute for good hand washing.

Head Lice: Make sure to always check your child for head lice during routine grooming. As with any contagious condition, prevention is key. There is no outbreak of lice at this time but we encourage you to be proactive. Keep your child's hair pulled back if it's long; discourage sharing of brushes, combs, and head gear.
The signs of head lice are scratching at the back of the neck and behind the ears. It appears like a dandruff flake but glued near the base of the hair shaft. There are many over the counter treatments. Check with your child's doctor for what they recommend or you may pick up the flyer from your school, "Guide for Head Lice Treatment".
If your child has head lice, please notify the school nurse. If your child is found to have live bugs during school hours, you will be asked to come pick your child up for early dismissal. Please have updated phone numbers on the emergency card at school. Should you have any questions, please contact the clinic, or go to the School Health page on the school website for more information.
