PBIS Theme: Courage to Try New Things
As we continue our journey towards fostering a positive and supportive school environment through Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), we are excited to introduce our latest theme: "Courage to Try New Things."
At PES, we believe that growth and development flourish when individuals step out of their comfort zones and embrace new experiences. We are committed to instilling in our students the confidence and resilience needed to navigate the ever-changing world around them. With this in mind, we invite you to join us in encouraging your child to explore new opportunities and take risks in their learning journey.
Why is it important for your child to embrace the courage to try new things? Here are a few key reasons:
Personal Growth: Trying new things allows your child to discover their strengths, interests, and passions. It opens doors to new experiences and opportunities for personal growth and development.
Resilience: Stepping outside of one's comfort zone teaches resilience and adaptability. It empowers your child to face challenges with confidence and persevere in the face of setbacks.
Expanded Horizons: By trying new things, your child can broaden their horizons and gain a deeper understanding of the world around them. Whether it's exploring a new hobby, joining a club, or participating in a school event, each new experience enriches their perspective and enhances their learning journey.
As partners in your child's education, we encourage you to support and empower them as they embrace the courage to try new things. Here are a few ways you can help:
Encourage Exploration: Foster a sense of curiosity and exploration in your child by exposing them to new experiences outside of school, whether it's trying a new sport, visiting a museum, or learning a new skill.
Celebrate Effort: Celebrate your child's efforts and willingness to try new things, regardless of the outcome. Recognize their courage and perseverance, and praise them for stepping out of their comfort zone.
Lead by Example: Be a role model for your child by demonstrating your own willingness to try new things and take on challenges. Share your experiences and encourage open communication about stepping outside of one's comfort zone.
Together, we can empower our students to embrace the courage to try new things and embark on a journey of growth and discovery. Thank you for your continued support and partnership in creating a positive and enriching learning environment for our students.
