We are truly grateful to have had the opportunity this past Friday to honor the heroes of 9/11 and those who continue to serve in our community today. Thank you to everyone who attended, especially our guest speakers, who continue to keep us safe every day.
At our Tucson charter school, we are adopting a new approach to our school culture—the Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS). This system basically involves catching students doing the right thing. Rather than focusing on negative actions or behavior, and negative language, we promote and acknowledge positive actions and behavior through positive language.
Parents want their children to succeed. While we may be well aware staying involved in our children’s educational process can help them excel, it’s not always clear how to best achieve this. La Paloma Academy believes academic success is a team effort, and families can be incredible advocates for a child’s education.
