What is Purpose-Full People?

Our new K-5 social-emotional learning program teaches skills that will help students be successful in school and in life.
What are the goals of Purposefull People?
Purposefull People has three main goals for students: Be Kind, Be Strong, and Be Well.
Be Kind: Social skills like listening, friendship, solving conflicts, and leadership.
Be Strong: Skills that help students focus, stay organized, and set goals.
Be Well: Skills that help students handle their emotions and deal with stress.
When are the lessons taught to the students?
Lessons are taught in all of our classrooms and reinforced school-wide in many ways including morning announcements, posters, and our monthly Shark Assemblies.
How can families help?
Each month, we will post the family connection letters for the monthly theme.
Each grade-specific letter includes some ways to build these skills at home, discussion starters, and fun challenges you can try with your family.

September Respect Family Newsletters are in the resource section at the bottom of the post.

Mrs. McNamara and Mrs. St Onge unveil their bulletin board in the reading specialist classroom.

Beginning of the Year benchmark assessments for reading and math are taking place for Grades 1-5.
