Blazing The PRIDE Trail
For the last 2 years, the Haysville District has implemented a program, district-wide, to improve student behaviors and to provide a framework for building a more positive attitude regarding school and our district. PRIDE stands for Preparation, Respect, Integrity, Discipline, and Excellence. All students will be instructed as to what PRIDE looks like in various locations around the building. In addition, signs and banners will be posted throughout the district to remind all students and patrons to display Haysville PRIDE. The Oatville PRIDE team has established a theme for the year; “Blazing the PRIDE Trail.” This theme will provide a focus for many of the upcoming activities which include assemblies, Pioneer Day in April, and various western theme prizes for students demonstrating Oatville PRIDE. More information will be provided throughout the year regarding this project.
