A special visitor put our Mansfield students’ search skills to the test! 🔎🐾

Our Mansfield Learning Lab recently welcomed a search and rescue dog and their owner, Angie, for a hands-on look at the incredible work these specially trained dogs do!

October is all about creating your story! This month’s PBIS theme celebrates identity, creativity and self-expression and reminds our students that the choices they make each day help shape what comes next. Be yourself. Use your voice. Respect the stories and perspectives of others. And most importantly, take action toward the story you want to create. What will your next chapter look like? 📖✨

Be Kind • Be Engaged • Take Action

🖥️ Attendance Awareness Tip #5: Create Your Space!

Where you learn can make a difference in how you learn! Find a spot where you can focus, have what you need within reach, and keep distractions to a minimum. Whether it’s a desk at home or a workspace at your GOAL Learning Lab, create an environment that helps you get things done. 💙💛

Set your space. Find your focus. Get to work!
