  2. About SFT…. • We are a PBIS (Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports) and • BIST (Behavior Intervention Support Team) school. We have 3 guiding principles being the ABC’s of SFT: Actively Engaged, Be Safe, Caring • Our overall staff mantra is “Together We Will” • The staff focus is on kindness, competence and cohesiveness. • We have 2 classes of each grade level Kindergarten through 6th. • Specials classes: Art, Music, Library and P.E. Picnic Lunch

  3. Keys to Success: • We are looking to begin building a seven year partnership with each of you and your children. • The most important factor at this stage in development is the willingness to learn and the ability to interact in a group rather than academic skills. • Letting adults be in charge. • The meaning of “no” – reacting appropriately. • Doing things that we may not want to do - tantrums do not work . • Actions have consequences. • We teach and practice these life skills with students daily, but your help is vital to their growth in kindergarten and beyond.

  4. Well rested children do very well academically and behaviorally. • 10 – 12 hours of sleep is recommended. • More exercise and limited access to TV and video games helps students sleep better at night. PBIS Assembly

  5. Half Day - AM (8:10–11:05) • There is no charge for half day kindergarten. • Lunch is not served, but breakfast is available. • Full Day Kindergarten (8:10–3:10) • Lunch is served and breakfast is available. • Two Kindergarten Options Winners of one month’s “Choice is Right” assembly.

  6. Differences Between Half-Day and Full-Day Programs • Both programs have the same curricular focus. The full day program offers: • more time and in-depth exploration of the curriculum. • more opportunities to practice and repeat skills. • more opportunities for extensions in curriculum.

  9. Transfers • If a parent requests a transfer to a participating full-day kindergarten school, the applications will be date and time stamped but must be sent for to the district office for official approval. Currently, such transfer requests are unlikely to be approved until August 1 or later. • Transfers from out of district will be approved last, if space allows. Random Drawing Assembly Winners
