Character Education

Character Education is fully integrated throughout the school day.  Our school Covenant defines Character Education in the following way:

Learning to act in a respectful and responsible way is crucial to high academic achievement, and we have identified twelve character traits or qualities that we incorporate into our classroom instruction. These are respect, responsibility, citizenship, self-control, honesty, patience, kindness, humility, integrity, perseverance, cooperation, and an appreciation of individual strengths and cultural backgrounds. These character qualities are taught proactively by our school staff as they fit naturally during classroom instruction, as well as on the playground and in the lunchroom. The staff of our school will teach, reinforce and support the character qualities through the content of the Core Knowledge Sequence. All adults in this school community are expected to model our twelve character qualities, and to hold children accountable for exhibiting these qualities.
