Character Education

What is Character Education?
  • Teaching students how to take responsibility for their actions and to treat others with respect.
  • Showing students that there are specific payoffs in life for doing those things.
  • Modeling that behavior for students every second that they are with us during the day, and expecting them to do the same.
  • Creating an atmosphere at school where students can safely practice those behaviors until such behavior becomes the norm.

Character Traits for each month this school year are:

August            Responsibility and Attentiveness

September    Citizenship

October         Fairness

November    Patriotism

December    Kindness/Caring   

January       Courage/Initiative

February      Respect/Tolerance

March           Honesty/Trustworthiness

April              Self-Control

May               Patience

 

If you have questions or comments about the character curriculum feel free to contact our guidance counselor Linda Mizelle.
