Each Friday is spirit day - students and staff are encouraged to wear their school spirit shirts, or sport the school colors - 
Black and gold!  The class with the most students to sport their spirit for the day, wins the coveted Spirit Lightsaber as a reward, to keep in their classroom for a week!  

We like to recognize our fabulous students here at Fiddyment Farm who continuously follow both our behavior expectations of being Safe, Responsible, and Kind, but also consistently exhibit the FORCE traits that we believe make students a FORCE for good, which are
Focused, Organized, Respectful, Compassionate, and Encouraging!

This school year, we are re-focusing our PBIS (Positive Behavior Expectations and Supports) structure to be more simplified for our students.  We are going to continue with our character themes of F.O.R.C.E. - Focused, Organized, Respectful, Compassionate, Encouraging, and put more emphasis on good character traits and habits.  

On the behavior side, to simplify the "behavior" expectations, we continue with
Be Safe - Be Responsible - Be Kind  
These are very simple for our students to understand, and are easy to reinforce and celebrate when students follow expectations and make good choices!  These 3 main behavior expectations, will also carry over to Cooley Middle School, as they use the same 3.

When students do make good choices and follow behavior expectations, and show great character qualities of the F.O.R.C.E., they will be acknowledged at different times of the year, in different ways, from awards, to FORCE Tickets, to prizes - we want to acknowledge our FORCE students for showing up every day and being a true "FORCE" in our school!

If your child comes home with a FORCE ticket stub - they made a really good choice at school and should be encouraged to continue their positive choices and behaviors in the future!

*NOTE
The menu is scheduled to change, based on what food is delivered. 
Reminder - Breakfast at Fiddyment Farm is free and served in the MPR at 7:25am.
