Each quarter, the staff and students at Alliance Early Learning School focus on one building expectation. Students receive lessons from the school counselor about what the expectation means and how to practice it, as well as guided instruction daily from their classroom teachers. The first quarter was all about "Being Kind!" Students who exhibited exceptional kindness were nominated for a Donut Party with the Principals! For the second quarter, AELS is focusing on "Being a Good Role Model!" #RepthatA
