This quarter, our PBIS focus is all about growing by learning from our mistakes and facing challenges head-on. Throughout our morning meetings, students have been diving into the difference between a Growth Mindset and a Fixed Mindset, learning how our mindset can shape how we respond to difficulties and setbacks.
Our school-wide goal is to have fewer than 50 office referrals this quarter. If we meet that goal, we'll celebrate with a kickball tournament at Mountain Dew Park in Marion — home of the Thrillbillies!
We're now at the midway point of the quarter, and students are being regularly updated on our progress. The momentum is strong - stay tuned to find out if we hit our goal!

Following our kickoff, some grades participated in our PBIS Bootcamp, where we reviewed and practiced our ROAR expectations: Respectful, Organized, Always Safe, and Responsible. Each area of the school—from the hallways to the cafeteria—became a learning zone as students rotated through stations to see what ROAR looks like at CIS.










Please bring your child and their school supplies to our Open House tonight from 5:30-6:30. We will have a Book Giveaway outside the office and the building is open for tours. This is an opportunity to meet our staff.
School starts tomorrow 8:00-11:25.
We will have a full day on Friday from 8:00-2:55.
Be sure to download the Carterville App. At this time, only the Live Feed and Menu options are available. The district is clarifying some data transfers and plan to have Rooms and Messages set up for communication by the end of week. More information to come as we launch this new tool to replace Dojo. Team CIS is here to serve and ensure a great start to the year. Please contact us if we can assist you in any way.
