| | Principal's Message - Character Counts Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring & Citizenship 
October 18-22nd was Character Counts Week. Teaching our students how to be good citizens is closely tied to teaching them to be good students. Each month your children’s teachers focus on one of the six Pillars of Character (Responsibility, Respect, Citizenship, Caring, Fairness and Trustworthiness), helping students understand the meaning of these terms and how to behave in ways that demonstrate these traits. We use these terms as we teach students study skills, how to conduct themselves on the playground, and appropriate ways to communicate with others.
Throughout the day and year, staff members encourage students to think about character and give their best effort. Outside of the classroom, students “caught” showing character may be given Character Cards and have their name announced during the Monday morning announcements. When our students misbehave, the best thing we can do is hold them accountable for their behavior, and make sure they know and can tell us the proper way to behave. When students make poor choices, we refer back to the character trait that they need to work on. Children need to understand that is wasn’t a poor choice because they got in trouble, but because it showed that they were not acting with appropriate character. Parents may want to reinforce this focus on identifying behaviors by their character trait. Character Counts also offers free resources for parents, click here.
