Students Community Meetings
Dear families,
This year, we are launching monthly schoolwide Community Meetings (see grade-level schedule below).
These gatherings help build a strong sense of community, celebrate student success, and highlight the monthly character trait from our Character Strong curriculum. The curriculum supports a positive school culture by teaching important life skills and promoting belonging, well-being, positive behavior, and academic engagement.
September Focus: Responsibility
During September, students explored the character trait of Responsibility during their daily Strong Start meetings and were encouraged to demonstrate responsible behavior throughout the school day.
Each month, teachers and staff nominate students who consistently model the featured character trait. During our Community Meetings, two students from each classroom will be recognized and celebrated for demonstrating the trait of the month.
Families Are Welcome!
Next Community Meeting: October 16, 2026
October Character Trait: Kindness & Respect
We encourage families to continue these conversations at home and support students as they practice responsibility in their daily routines.
Thank you for partnering with us as we build a positive school community and celebrate our students’ growth and character.
We are Panthers! We are Proud! We are Powerful!
