Community Values
- All people deserve a safe, welcoming place to learn.
- Empathy, understanding the beliefs of the student, collaborative problem solving, and kind yet firm follow through are the most powerful tools for adults in supporting the behavior of children.
- We will maximize learning when the student has learned social emotional skills, developed self controls, feels connected to others, and makes contributions in the classroom.
- Children cannot develop wisdom and good judgment without practicing, making mistakes, and learning and trying again. As they develop, their experimentation with behaviors will change.
- We most influence the behavior of others when we have an ongoing relationship founded on mutual respect.
