Mr. Teel's Intro to DIY Community Hour students have been learning about the basic skills and tools needed for a variety of DIY projects. Most of the students in this Community Hour had never set foot in the Industrial Tech shop before, but this quarter they've had the opportunity to participate in a variety of hands-on activities, which included designing, creating, and installing a made-from-scratch information center for the middle school. Great job, DIYers! #ibtigerpride

This year, our IBES students have been learning all about our Tiger Traits as part of the PBIS programming. Students will learn about different positive character traits throughout the school year.
During the month of September, students learned about the trait, Integrity. Students learned that integrity means being honest and having moral principles. All students participated in a lesson with Mrs. Craven to introduce to them what it means to have integrity and how to show integrity at school!
Each Friday during announcements, students are reminded what it means to have integrity and are given a new mini-lesson or quote to remind them how to live with integrity. In addition, there is an interactive bulletin board visible to all students to remind them of the current trait they are learning. Students and teachers have the opportunity to give a “shout-out” to peers when they see them acting with the trait of the month. The “shout-outs” are collected, and a random name is drawn, before our next character trait is introduced, for a small prize!
Bus Route 12 will NOT run tomorrow (9/29) morning. Our middle/elementary school routes will pick up high school students tomorrow. These bus routes run a little later than route 12 typical does. Thanks for your patience!
