- Reinforcing their positive choices, actions and words
- Encouraging students to proudly represent their self, family and community even when no one is watching
Empathetic
We will develop empathetic individuals and create a culture of belonging by:
- Providing opportunities to understand different perspectives and be appreciative of our differences
- Modeling active and reflective listening
- Encouraging reflection that helps create a community of inclusion
Resilient
We will build resilient learners by:
- Equipping them to embrace the challenge of learning
- Fostering a growth mindset where it is safe for students to make mistakes and grow from them, in and outside of the classroom
- Encouraging students to discover and refine their strengths (and leadership skills) in all areas - academic, social, emotional, and beyond
Dedicated
We empower students to be dedicated to succeed by:
- Valuing the learning journey with rigorous instruction and focusing on student improvement
- Partnering with students as they set goals to succeed by being active participants in the classroom and school community
- Encouraging students to be ready with a plan to meet their goals and to commit to their best efforts at all times
