While many of our students are already doing a great job, we have experienced concerns with excessive yelling, screaming, and students not following cafeteria expectations.<\/p>\n<p>We want our students to enjoy their lunch and socialize with friends while being respectful of others. We are encouraging all students to work together to create a positive cafeteria environment. We ask families to take a moment to reinforce these expectations at home. Students who continue to demonstrate disruptive behavior may receive appropriate disciplinary consequences.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your partnership and support!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mrs. Anderson<\/strong><\/p>\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<h2>PANTHER WELLNESS HUB<\/h2>\n<p><strong>November Counseling Lesson: Stress Management &amp; Emotional Wellness<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During November, students will participate in a counseling lesson focused on stress management and emotional wellness.
