Look ahead for September 15,2014

Notes from the Principal:

Discipline isn't just punishing, forcing compliance or stamping out bad behavior.  Rather, discipline has to do with caring about others, controlling one's self and putting someone else's wishes before one's own when the occasion calls for it.

How is your classroom discipline?  What behaviors are you seeing?  What are the consequences?  How's that working for you?  Be ready to talk about these questions.  It may be in passing in the halls, during lunch, plan time or during grade level meetings.
