Wear Blue on 2/22

Our school is joining the Wear Blue on 2/22 movement started by Erik Janke, a young boy from Sandy, Utah. He is asking everyone to wear blue on February 22nd to protest bullying. His website wearblue222.org has more information. Erik is also the author of a book that celebrates the unique qualities we have as human beings. Check it out and join us in WEARING BLUE this Friday!  

We are celebrating our SUCCESS as we strive to become a Bully Free School! We have been learning through our Steps to Respect lessons about the importance of friendships and respecting others. We have learned how to recognize, refuse and report bullying to adults at our school. We are learning what it means to be a bystander and what we can do to become someone's hero. 

Parents, ask your student what we've been learning! I'm sure they'll be proud to tell you how they are learning to END bullying at Coral Canyon. 

Principal's 200 Club

We are so excited to announce our Principal's 200 Club here at Coral Canyon! This is a great program that rewards students for showing respectful behavior to teachers and fellow students or for standing as an example of great character for others.

Teachers are on the lookout for students who follow school rules and who show exemplary behavior and they will select model students to become members of the club. Students then report to the office to sign the Principal's Celebrity Book and place their names on a bulletin board outside of the office. The most exciting part is when a row fills up, either horizontally or vertically, then all the students in that row WIN A PRIZE!!  Prizes can be a Pizza Party with the Principal, Ice Cream with the Counselor, Gift Certificates or other wonderful mystery prizes!

Parents will be notified by email or by phone when their student "joins" the Club! This is a great chance for them to celebrate the great things happening at our school. We have the best students and we want to recognize them for their accomplishments!

New School Rules and Character Education Themes

Our school is embarking on a journey to improve the character and increase positive behavior of students here at Coral Canyon Elementary School! We are implementing a new initiative called PBIS or Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports. This is a framework that guides the students mastery of school rules and character education lessons learned via Steps to Respect, our classroom bullying prevention program.

In order to make this easier for students, we have opted to revise our school rules to 4 concise and easy-to-remember rules that envelope other classroom rules or expected behaviors at Coral Canyon. 

The new school rules are:

Be Really Safe!

Be Respectful!

Be Responsible!

Be Ready to Learn!

We will also be focusing our character education at the school on monthly themes taken from Steps to Respect. These themes are:

October- Be a Friend, Not a Bully

November- Include Others

December- Friends Play Fair

January- Put Ups, Not Put Downs

February- Stand Up for the Truth (Assertiveness)

March- Bystander Power (Positive Peer Pressure)

April- Be an Example

We will start celebrating and reinforcing these rules and themes this month with our Principal's 200 Club. Click here to learn more about it!
