As a caring, engaging learning community we at Metcalf School strive to provide the best education for all of our students. Throughout the building, we believe that a great learning environment begins with positive behaviors. Our school-wide behavioral program aligns the 7 Habits of Effective Students and the recognition system of “Catching our Good Leaders” on a regular basis.  As always, we encourage you to bring the language of the 7   habits into your home.  To help support these ideas, consider reading the book “7 Habits of Highly Effective Families.”  In addition, check your student’s agenda for their latest homework, and other important messages.  The Metcalf School website is also an effective tool for keeping up to date with any special events, programs, and school information. I look forward to many days ahead of great “fun and learning”!
