Cascade’s character trait for the
month of January is reflective. We
are working on honestly thinking
about our behavior & deciding
whether or not we are being safe,
responsible, and respectful here at
school. The kids will also be setting
both behavioral and academic
goals for themselves this month, so
you may want to start having
conversations with your little one
about what goals they would like to
work on.
