Behavior Issues
Cafeteria/ Lack of order and structure. Expectations should be
reviewed. Look to see what parents/families need to be held
accountable for and what teachers and staff need to be held
accountable for.
We must do two versions. A Light version for the younger students
and a heavy version for the older students that are age and grade
appropriate for their attention spans.
