Coffee with Admin

Mrs. Fitch and Mrs. Vela hosted the 4th and final "Coffee with Admin" event of this year - with the topic "What is PBIS". It was a great overview of the PBIS program, how it works, what students learn from it, and how you can incorporate messaging at home. The informal chat also reached into new topics... with a few discussions highlighting how maybe adults could benefit from PBIS as well! :) 

This was our first year hosting Coffee With Admin events- and we're excited to continue these next year! Please send your topic suggestions to Mrs. Vela directly!
