Spring Creek Parents,

It has been a very busy week with behaviors.  Our students seem to be catching the spring fever.  We will be having them watch a video next week giving them a reminder of our school expectations!  Please remind your kids to SOAR; show kindness, own their learning, act safely and respond responsibly!

Weekly family talking point:  What does it mean to be mischievous?

Possible questions

1. What does it mean to be mischievous?
2. If you do something bad and it doesn’t really hurt someone does it really matter?  example:  throwing a wet paper towel at the ceiling?
3. What choices have you made this week that might have had a negative impact on someone else?

Thank you,

Jay Porter

Principal, Spring Creek Elementary
