Message from the Principals
By KRISTEL HICKMAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PRINCIPAL,

Our theme for this school year is GROWTH: We use this as an acronym for highlighting the characteristics of: Gratitude, Respect, Open-Minded, Willingness to Learn, Teamwork, Honesty.

This month we will focus on Respect: What is having respect?

Having respect means you feel positively toward a person because of how they affect others. For example, you may have respect for

• a person that treats other people kindly

• someone who worked hard to achieve something

• someone who overcame a challenge You can have respect for others, and you can have respect for yourself. Self-respect means you feel good about who you are, the types of choices you make, and the impact you have on others.

What is showing respect?

Being respectful means you act in a way that shows care for how your actions may impact others. We can show respect for people, places, and things. For example:

• Using kind or polite words even when you’re upset

• Using manners like sharing, waiting your turn, saying please and thank you

• Accepting difference or at least disagreeing with kind words

• Being careful not to damage places or things

• Using a quiet voice or calm behavior in public places

• Sharing resources, only taking what you really need Our Parent Hub has a lot of important resources. Please check it out, by accessing the QR code.

Counselor’s Corner Student’s of the Month for September: Kaleah Boyce, David Thomas, Emberly Walker, Brantlee Davis, Austin Deaver, Rafe Johnston, Addy Leathers, Tylee Gregory, Levi Smith, Meilani Marshall, Eastyn Fields, Kinzlee Skinner Daeviny Caldwell, Jack Cassels, Kyle McBride.
