Positivity Character Trait Of The Week (January 13th – January 17th): PRUDENCE
What does PRUDENCE mean? Prudence is the ability to do the right thing, at the right time, for the right reason. It's a future-oriented way of thinking that helps a person set goals, make plans, and have the discipline to accomplish them.
Why Does It Matter? Prudence supports effective individual self-management. Whether aspiring for an athletic record, academic grade, or purchasing a car, foresight and planning are necessary.
Quote Of The Week
“Prudence is the knowledge of things to be sought, and those to be shunned.” -CICERO
Quarterly Positivity Assemblies
On January 31st we will be holding our Quarter 2 Positivity Assembly.

Your student’s teacher will let you know if your student is receiving an award so that you can make arrangements to attend if you would like. Below are the dates and times of the assemblies and spirit days for the remainder of the year.
