Character Corner: Leading with Respect

This month, we are focusing on Respect—the "glue" that holds our school family together. As a Capturing Kids' Hearts National Showcase School, we define respect as treating others the way you want to be treated while recognizing the worth of every person, their property, and our environment.

How you can help at home:

  • The Interruption Rule: Practice waiting for a pause in conversation before speaking.

  • Digital Respect: Discuss using kind words and respecting privacy online.

  • The Golden Rule: When conflicts arise, ask: "How would you feel if someone treated you that way?"

Leave a Legacy: Birthday Book Club

Celebrate your child’s special day and help our library grow!

  1. Pick a Book: Choose a hardcover book from our Curated List.

  2. The Perks: Your child gets a commemorative sticker in the book, a shout-out on morning announcements, and is the very first person to check it out!

  3. The Bash: All members attend the end-of-year Book Club Birthday Bash!
