#jdalPRIDE - PASSIONATE
Hello Dragon Families!
Students and staff at JDAL have been working together to create a new positive behavior "motto" for our school. Students wanted our new motto to be representative of what it means to be a student at JDAL, so they worked as a large group to brainstorm and select the perfect idea, #jdalPRIDE!
While staff facilitated the process, this was completely student-driven and we are so proud of our students for exhibiting leadership and maturity while working through the process. Students have selected the following words to represent what it means to have #jdalPRIDE:
P- Passionate
R - Rigorous
I - Independent
D - Determined
E - Exceptional
We will spend the rest of this school year discussing what each of these words means at JDAL. Today, each student shared what he or she is passionate about at JDAL. It is very clear that our students are passionate about being in charge of their own learning as well as being able to share their learning experiences with the rest of our JDAL family.
Thank you for being a Dragon. We appreciate you!
With gratitude,
Jen + the JDAL team
