  A Note from Raul Sandoval, Principal

Manners to Go continues this year at Noecker.  For the month of January and February we begin Unit 2: Communication.  These lessons foster building positive relationships with others through the way we communicate.  The concepts in this unit include the following:

• Conversation skills

• “Like Um, Ya know”

• Attitude (open, nonjudgmental, avoid nosy questions)

• Manners when you’re “out and about”

• Self-respect

• Technology manners (phone, text, email)

• Thank You notes

This is a perfect opportunity to discuss these concepts with your child.  The ability to communicate effectively is a critical skill in all fields of study and daily life.
