1. Good morning, Cougs! Today is Thursday, May 15th…Throughout the month of May, we continue to recognize Asian-Pacific Islander American History and Mental Health Awareness. Your mental health tip of the day is: Limit your screen time before bed. Phones and tablets can mess with your sleep. Try reading, listening to music, or drawing instead.
2. Please remember to use the bathrooms for their intended purpose and take pride in our building. Please walk and use a level one volume when speaking in the hallways to create a safe and calming environment. Please show respect to staff, guest teachers, and peers to uphold the dignity of others and our school environment. Please publicly display your affection for others outside of school to cultivate a professional work environment. Remember, as we move into the final stretch and enjoy end-of-year festivities after SBA testing, participation isn't guaranteed. Expected behavior will be your ticket to participating in the festivities.
