These are the character pillars that will be the focus of character education efforts for each month of the year.  Monthly Guidance lessons for every classroom will incorporate concepts associated with each pillar.  Students from three grade levels will be selected each month by their teacher and honored for demonstrating qualities of the character trait of the month.    

 

 

I meet with each classroom once a month.  For August I do an introductory class teaching about transitioning back into school and how students can access me if needed.  Lessons throughout the year cover topics such as bullying, character counts, problem solving, conflict resolution and skills for school success.     

 

Of course, I also consult with parents and teacher and work with individual students as needed.  Parents can email or call me directly to talk about their student or schedule a meeting.
