Social Skill for Success:
Purcell Marian is in its third year of utilizing the Boystown Well Managed School
Model. It is a prosocial skill training method emphasizing at least 16 marketable skills for success in school, and the workplace. This method promotes a common, consistent language and procedure to teach theses social skills that will help all become successful Cavaliers. We will be highlighting a skill each week.
Asking for help is this week's skill of the week. The steps for asking for help are as follows:
1. Look at the person
2. Ask the person if they have time to help you
3. Clearly explain the kind of help that you need
4. Thank the person for helping.
Please visit the parent website for Boystown at http://www.parenting.org . We will be highlighting one of the skills each week in the parent newsletter.

Purcell Marian All School Policy Focus of the Week
This week we will be focused on our Late to Class Policy:
A reminder that students are given 3 minutes to get to their next class, including their lunch bell. Any student who arrives to their next class after the bell rings will be issued a disciplinary consequence. If a teacher or other faculty member keeps a student after class causing the student to be late, they will be given a note to give to their next teacher that would excuse their lateness.

COMING UP:
Walk Update
We reached our goal of $10,000 again this year which earns us a day off school, that day off will take place on Friday Oct. 28
th. Enjoy your day off Cavaliers and thanks to everyone who donated.
