Orchard Families,
We have a family night on Wednesday, January 24. It will be a multicultural night that our PTA is putting together. Attached is a flyer for the event.
Over the next four weeks, teachers will be teaching students about Respect. One way to think about Respect is “seeing value in all people and things & treating them with care.” Many people feel Respected in different ways. We hope this will inspire discussions with your family about what Respect means to you and how you can practice it together!
Respect is 1 of 3 traits we will focus on throughout the year that helps students Be Kind. Across grade levels, students will be developing skills like perspective-taking, conflict resolution, and leadership.
