Dear Keeler Families,
Staff at Keeler continue to build routines and develop relationships with your children. After talking to staff, students and families one of the greatest strengths of Keeler school is the “Circle of Courage.” We had our first “Circle of Courage” assembly last Friday September 13th and will continue with the tradition of weekly assemblies throughout the year. If you are new to the school, below is a summary of the Circle of Courage:
It is the goal of Keeler school for the Circle of Courage to be integrated into every classroom, for every individual at our school to have a deep understanding of what it is and what it means. This will enable our school to become a community and to have a healthy school culture. The expectations of behavior can be reinforced through the pillars of the Circle. We are using this to recognize students who are showing the four pillars of the circle of courage. It is not a requirement for students to finish ALL of their circle. Students will complete their circles if they consistently show the pillars of the circle of courage.
The Circle of Courage consists of four pillars:
· Generosity (black): Looking forward to being able to contribute to others, be able to give cherished things to others
· Belonging (red): A sense of community, loving others, and being
· Independence (white): Making one’s own decisions and being responsible for failure or success, setting one’s own goals, disciplining one’s self.
· Mastery (yellow): Competence in many areas (cognitive, physical, social, and spiritual). Having self-control, responsibility, striving to achieve personal goals rather than superiority.
