Dear Reader:

The opportunities for teaching and reteaching the Janssen Way is not only to set or re-establish our norms and expectations in a timely manner but also to approach happenstance in a similar way.  This past weekend we experienced our first 'snow storm' of the year.  Our first snowfalls are a great opportunity to remind our students about bringing their snow pants and snow shoes, walk and not run on the sidewalks, and be very careful when crossing and the crosswalks.  Sharing these reminders with students is all about building their competence to the Janssen Way by wanting them to be responsible and safe.  Out teachers will revisit these practices with our students throughout the week.

Our Morning Paws reflection for the week is:  "What goes around comes around"...i.e. if we are to say thank you to some one who helps us they too will say thank you the next time you help them.

Sincerely,
Mr. Nikolaou
