Each grade level will work together to earn extra STAR Bucks by showing how they are Safe, Timely, Accountable, and Respectful all around campus from December 1st to 17th.

Two grade-level winners — one from Grades 1–3 and one from Grades 4–5 — will earn a special game time on December 18!

Let’s show our Wolverine pride, lift each other up, and bring in those STAR Bucks.

For safety reasons, please be reminded that the playground and the school play structures are closed from 8:00 am before school until 3:30 pm. During this time the structures are not open to the public as well. Parents/guardians we need your support and assistance with this. No students/siblings should be playing on any play structure or riding bikes/scooters around the campus between these hours. Thank you for your help.

PBIS is a process for creating safer and more effective schools. It is a systems approach to enhancing the capacity of schools to educate all children by developing research-based, school-wide, and classroom behavior support systems. The process focuses on improving a school’s ability to teach and support positive behavior for all students. Rather than a prescribed program, PBIS provides systems for schools to design, implement, and evaluate effective school-wide, classroom, non-classroom, and student specific plans. PBIS includes school-wide procedures and processes intended for all students and all staff in all settings. PBIS is not a program or a curriculum. It is a team-based process for systemic problem solving, planning, and evaluation. It is an approach to creating a safe and productive learning environment where teachers can teach and all students can learn.

We have adopted a unified set of school rules. These rules define our expectations for behavior in our school. You will see these rules posted throughout the school and your child will be learning them throughout the school year. Our unified classroom rules, found in every classroom and non-classroom setting in the school, are as follows:  

I am Safe

I am Timely

I am Accountable

I am Respectful

As part of our PBIS process, teachers and other staff members this to increase student learning and decrease classroom disruptions and reward students with STAR Bucks. We also acknowledge students at our PBIS assemblies with a STAR or Wolverine Award as determined by the classroom teacher.

o Use this break to check in with your children. Ask how they are feeling,

especially if they have been stressed or overwhelmed during this school

year.

o While it’s important to connect with loved ones, it’s also okay to practice

self-care. Encourage quiet moments to recharge.

 Limit digital overload

o Reduce screen time and enjoy more in-person connections and outdoor

activities. Digital detoxes help improve mental clarity.

o Encourage your kids to start writing down or sharing one thing you are

thankful for each day during the break

Hope you enjoy the Holiday season! Thank you
