03/05/2023
Students and staff worked hard this past week to build new routines and get to know some new people in their classes. The snow also made for some extra special times at recess. This coming week, we will be looking at using our WITS as a school. The WITS (Walk Away, Ignore, Talk It Out, and Seek Help) are strategies to use when someone or something is bothering us. A group of student leaders has been preparing skits and presentations for WITS assemblies this week. Teachers will also be using read aloud books to look at WITS in their classrooms. To support what’s happening at school, families are encouraged to talk with their children about using their WITS at home!
