Dear Parents,
Last week Team Believe students attended their first assembly, participated in Breast Cancer
Awareness Spirit Week, took school pictures, and worked hard on their Personal Narratives.
Please ask your child about these events and activities.
As the week came to a close, behavior became more of an issue. Disrespect (eye-rolling,
ignoring teachers when being spoken to, reverting back to the misbehavior after being warned,
back-talking) is becoming more and more frequent. MARKS are earned by students who exhibit
these poor behaviors, but we want our Bulldogs to be good students, good citizens...good people.
All children (whether they know it or not), need structure and routine in their lives. As
parents and teachers, we need to remember to set limits and be consistent.
Getting behaviors under control (at home and school) help children learn. These are our
“babies”, too! We love them & want the best for each of them!
~Believe Teachers~
