Thinking Students… Changing the World

With the new construction and all the changes that took place over the past couple of years, we believe it’s critical to build a sense of community.  To ensure students feel comfortable in their new space, we have begun dispersing into Wolf Packs that meet several times a month. The purpose of Wolf Packs is to promote teamwork, cohesiveness and a shared vision. Wolf Packs are composed of a group of students from K through 4th grade. Students stay with the same Wolf Pack until they graduate in order to build strong bonds and friendships. During our Wolf Pack time on Wednesdays we will explore how we, at Mill Valley, can better the world around us through our proactive thoughts and actions. This year we have created Dens. Dens are made up of several Wolf Packs combined to total nearly 80 students in each Den. The purpose of Dens is for students to connect and build relationships with other students outside of their class and to become a part of the larger school community. Through Mill Valley’s PBIS implementation, we are focusing on being Respectful, Responsible and Kind.  Together we will build a community of learners that will grow up to change the world.
