Goals

As a reminder,
·      Don’t forget our team goal-to provide at least one High Five every week. When was the last time that you provided someone with one? 
·      One of our school goals is for teachers and students to exemplify Moral Focus virtues in their words and actions. Do you regularly reference the virtues when speaking to your students? Wouldn't it be great if our students started to reference them in their interactions with peers. A small change can make a big impact on the culture of our school.
