Dear
Families,
Happy New School Year! It is so exciting to be beginning a new
school year with you all! We have many
things continuing from last year that will be great fun and wonderful progress
for all of your youngsters. One major
project I want to update you all on is the Positive Behavior Intervention
Supports system in place. You will
notice dolphins everywhere and ways for your children to be certain of what is
expected of them. Not only will they have posters and discussions to guide them
but we will also be continually pointing out those who are following those
guidelines to celebrate successes as students reacclimate
to their school day and progress throughout the year. When I arrived at Dutemple
last fall I recognized the sweet and kind atmosphere you all have built and we
want to display this and celebrate that prominently every day. You may have noticed that the school year
came to completion, the children went home to play and your dedicated staff
arrived again to school for two days.
This was devoted completely to continuing to construct this PBIS
programming. I am so grateful and proud
of the work that was done. August will
bring on similar time devotion so that when we see you all we will have many
new aspects to use together. Be
respectful, be responsible, be ready are our themes for our growth in this
initiative.
Thank
you,
Ms. Basile

know each other over a cup of coffee.
All
other children will line up in the back school yard starting at 8:40 on the

Teachers are on duty at that time.
If it rains please come in to line up in the
