EAGLES, IT’S TIME TO GET IN SHAPE

This year we’re getting in S.H.A.P.E. and reviving our Senior Academy norms. By getting into S.H.A.P.E we plan to:

Seek to Understand Others – show empathy for differences and serve others

Honor Trust – show integrity and honesty 

Act Responsibly – good judgement, good decisions, and be accountable

Present Professionally – uniform on properly and take pride in how your presentation

Evaluate Self – build skills to regulate and deal with emotions

This year we all will work together to focus on S.H.A.P.E. – ing up for the school year.
