SUMMIT BEHAVIOR FOCUS
Next week’s focus: CHAMPS+T Hallway expectations.
We want to emphasize the importance of following the hallway expectations and being on time. Being on time is not just a matter of punctuality; it reflects our level of responsibility, respect for others, and sets the tone for our overall success. Students should be walking at all times and taking the direct path.
