Good morning, GIS Students - Where Titans Learn and Achieve!

PBIS Parent Statement - Use of Appropriate Language:  Language impacts others.  Our children need to be respectful to the feelings of others when speaking.  They may feel frustrated and want to say something under their breath or to another.  Remind your children that only kind and respectful words are used at school.  Advise them to take a deep breath and think before they speak.  As a parent, discuss the importance of polite words such as please, thank you, and excuse me.  Tell your children this is a way to being kind as well as using good manners.  Let us help our children use an appropriate tone of voice, be respectful of others in speaking kindly and politely by modeling this at home. 

The 5th to 6th grade Parent & Answer Night will take place in the GIS Forum at 6:30pm on Thursday, February 2nd.
