TUESDAY-A DAY
BEHAVIOR FOCUS
For this week, we will continue to focus on being kind and using kind words. Racial slurs are inappropriate and should not be used at all. Students need to think first,
What is the purpose of the words we use? Will they cause harm?
“Joking/Roasting” students can cause harm to the person even if you think it’s “just a joke.” This is not acceptable and can result in consequences.

At this meeting, I will see how many students are interested/available to start organizing groups based on interest.
Groups in the past have included: Coding, Gaming, Gaming PC build, Raspberry Pi, 3D printing, etc.
I am open to new ideas each year, as well. This group is for anyone with any interest or experience in technology.
