We are launching into our third Character Strong Trait here at Beaver Valley. Kindness and Respect will continue to be reinforced moving forward, but for now the newest focus will be on RESPONSIBILITY. Here are the Family Focus sections for each of our three grade levels. Please take the time to read through this and use the conversation starters sometime this month to help reinforce the value and meaning of responsibility.
By the way, if you have children in multiple grade levels, you will notice that this information is not the same at each grade level, especially the conversation starters.
