A Great Opening Day!

We had a wonderful first day of school today! Much of the day was spent getting to know new friends and connecting with old friends.  Students toured the building and learned new procedures.

At the start of the day, students were told that they can expect to be treated with kindness and respect by their teachers and all adults in this building.

Students can expect to be safe at school.  Safety is our number one concern, and students can come to school without any fears.

Students should expect to be given challenging, interesting work to do that will support their grow as learners.

Students can expect to be given the help and support they need to achieve in all areas – making friends, physical education, math, reading, writing, science, and social studies. 

Students can expect to be given opportunities to act as a leader in some capacity.  It might be safety patrol leader, lunchroom leader, or maybe P.E. equipment leader.  We believe it is very important that we help our students become leaders. 

A part of our culture at Paine Intermediate is learning about and showing respect for our country.  Each morning, we have a moment of silence for everyone to stop and reflect on how fortunate we are and how thankful we should be.  Then we say the Pledge of Allegiance to the American Flag.  We end by singing a patriotic song that helps us think of our country.
