Academics and Social/Emotional Learning:
"At Sycamore, we strive for more, no matter what our quest..." is not just a lyric from our school song, it is how we do business. Each day, our teachers and staff involve students in rich learning tasks where students must think critically to solve problems. They hold collaborative conversations and community circles where students engage in academic discourse using complete sentences and conversation structures to agree, disagree, and challenge each other's thinking respectfully. We are finding that these conversations improve student performance on written assignments and create frameworks for solving social conflicts as well.
Our Sycamore Canyon Leadership Team is a special group of students who support positive behavior school wide. They create videos of our PAWS behavior expectations, spot positive behaviors and give PAWS tickets to students at recess. We are proud of the work they do to support PAWS at our school.
P- Practice Respect
A- Accept Responsibility
W- Work Through Challenges
S- Show Each Other Kindness
