We had a blast celebrating Halloween with costumes, PBIS rewards, and plenty of Mustang PRIDE on Friday! Marty the Mustang even greeted students as they got off the bus in the morning!
What is Mustang PRIDE? It stands for Prepared, Respectful Individuals Determined to Excel! Students and teachers who demonstrated these qualities came together to “strike a pose” and celebrate how awesome it feels to be recognized for the positive behaviors we strive to encourage every day.
Mustang PRIDE is part of our PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) initiative and is more than just a program—it’s a commitment to creating a safe, supportive learning environment where every student can thrive. Our teachers are also recognized for their ongoing contributions to student success.
As we continue implementing Mustang PRIDE, let’s keep the momentum going! Celebrate positive behaviors, support one another, and make our middle school the best it can be!
