Congratulations to Brycir, Charlie, Katherine, Jose, Erik, and Maurillio who were the winners of our weekly S.O.A.R. drawing.

This year at East Fallowfield we are revamping our PBIS program and focusing on our Big East Expectations of Safety, Ownership, Acceptance and Respect. Last week, students had the opportunity to learn what these expectations look like, sound like, and feel like in different areas around the school including the classroom, cafeteria, playground, bus, hallway, and bathrooms.

Students are so excited to be rewarded for meeting these expectations with Class Dojo points. Parents please be sure to accept the Class Dojo invite from your child's teacher so you can track the great work they are doing in class.

Our teachers do incredible work and the Adopt-A-Coatesville Teacher program is a fabulous way to recognize our amazing staff! You can adopt a teacher by visiting the website here: ADOPT A COATESVILLE TEACHER. Once on the site, click the red apple icon that says, "SIGN UP."
