This year our staff is using the WITS program language to support our continued efforts to ensure a safe and caring school environment for all.  The WITS program teaches all kids how to respond to mean behavior and support anti-bullying and victimization through empowering students to use this approach.

We share this to further connect our efforts between home and school to support all our kids.  Click the image below for more information.
