March School Wide Character Development

Character Trait of the Month

Character Education Trait

Our Character trait word for the month of March is RESPONSIBILITY. This month we will be working on understanding the concept of responsibility as well as discussing why it is important, and how it could impact our social and academic success.

We will be commending responsible behaviors and talking about ways we can show responsibility for ourselves, for relationships with classmates, teachers, friends and family, for our education and overall character. We will also highlight ways showing responsibility creates opportunities for triumph and growth.

A few things to remember when reviewing and discussing responsible behaviors with our students; do what you are supposed to do, Persevere: keep trying!, always do your best, use self-control, be self-disciplined, think before you act—consider the consequences, and be accountable for your choices.

We will continue the character trait tickets. When students are seen displaying responsible actions they will be rewarded with "Keep Going; Awarded for Perseverance" tickets. These tickets allow students the opportunity to be nominated for Eagle of the week and month. Their names will be announced in the morning on Fridays, and for Eagles of the month the students are treated to lunch with the principal!

HOW TO BE A RESPONSIBLE PERSON

Be reliable and dependable; when you agree to do something, do it. Take care of your own business. Don't make others do what you are supposed to do.

Take responsibility for your actions; don't make excuses or blame others.

Use your head; think before you act; imagine the consequences.
