Excellence in Education

Character Education

The students are immersed in a variety of lessons and activities that promote social-emotional growth and physical wellness. The students participate in the Second Step program which focuses on Empathy, Impulse Control, Problem Solving, and Anger Management. Lastly, all kindergarteners learn about and discuss the character traits that are emphasized in the district's Character Education program. Our goal is for students to become independent problem solvers who can make mindful decisions about their own health and safety. Here is the list of Character Traits that we focus on monthly in the classroom:

September: Courtesy

October: Honesty

November: Responsibility

December: Respect

January: Tolerance

February: Compassion

March: Endurance

April: Accountability

May: Attaining Pride

June: Review of all the Character Traits
