Starting Strong
- Students know and understand what’s expected of them, which gives them confidence.
- Students monitor themselves and take more responsibility for their behavior — and their learning.
- Students spend more time on task and academic learning time increases.
- Teachers can more easily recognize and motivate positive behaviors.
- Classroom stress for students and teachers decreases.
- Students gain a sense of safety and security.
- The classroom culture and the school culture become more positive overall.
If you have any questions about the expectations we have for your Leader or how your student is doing in class, contact your child's teacher!

Have you Heard?
Beginning with the End in Mind means having a plan. Our students are working hard at setting their WIGS (Wildly Important Goals) and are documenting their progress along the way!
Here's how practicing Habit 2 will help your Leader in the future.
Your Leader will be able to:
1. Use critical thinking to organize information.
2. Develop the interpersonal skills of self confidence and self management.
3. Use creative thinking to solve problems.
4. Develop the ability to set goals and follow through.
5. Develop strong oral and written communication skills
Isn't that amazing that these skills are being taught to our Leaders now! How many children do you know that can say that they have these skills? WOW!!

Let's Eat!
Our menus for K-5 are attached for your convenience below. We would love to have you on campus to come and volunteer and join us for lunch! Volunteers can help open packages, help our staff monitor and help with clean-up. If you are interested in coming up to eat with your leader, contact your child's teacher for their grade level lunch times. If you are interested in volunteering, contact the front office desk at 817-385-9338 for a Volunteer Background Check form to get started today!
