Each year, as we move towards spring, there is an uptick in student behavior incidents as students have more energy and look forward to the end of the school year. During this time, we continue using Positive Behavioral Intervention & Supports (PBIS) to teach and remind students about the Cortez 4:
- Persistent Learners
- Accountable
- Respectful
-
and Collaborative.
We regularly review what these expectations look like in all areas of the school.
Families, we ask for your help by talking with your student about the power of words.
Most of the behavior incident I address begin with students using inappropriate language directed at their peers. Being Respectful and Collaborative means choosing kind, appropriate language and treating others with care.
If you ever have questions or concerns about something that happened during the school day, please contact your student's teacher first. Teachers usually have first-hand information and can provide details about what happened. When needed, teachers will involve school administration for support.
Thank you for your continued partnership as we work together to help our students finish the year strong.
