BEHAVIOR FOCUS
This week we want to focus on our conversations in all spaces across the school. We should think about our words and how they could be harmful to others. We should use appropriate language and not use derogatory terms that could offend someone’s race, body, gender, etc. Please think about whether or not our words could cause someone harm.
