PBIS MONTHLY UPDATES

Dear Families,

This month, Canterbury's social-emotional learning program is focusing on creativity! Below are a few conversation starters you can use at home to spark meaningful dialogue with your child:

• What does creativity mean to you?

• Can you share an example of a time when you were creative?

• How can being creative help you solve problems?

We encourage you to explore these questions together and celebrate the many ways your child expresses their creativity every day!

Warmly,

Dr. Wigton

Want to see your favorite Canterbury teacher rocking a tiger tattoo sleeve? Now’s your chance! Buy a temporary tattoo and choose which participating teacher or staff member wears it at the School BBQ on May 23rd! Tattoos are priced from $1 for small tattoos to $5 for a full sleeve. All proceeds go toward year-end fun for Canterbury students — so you’re giving back and getting some laughs! Purchase here!

Criteria for “Student of the Month”

The Student of the Month program is meant to promote success in and out of the classroom. The student must be able to handle many different aspects of student life while maintaining excellence in the classroom.

Currently, our attendance rate is 93.6%, with a goal to reach 95%. Canterbury's chronic absenteeism rate—students missing more than 10% of school—has decreased to around 13%, compared to 16% last year. Please continue to send your child to school each day as we still have many fun and meaningful learning activities planned to wrap up the school year! We want every student to enjoy these final weeks and finish strong.
