At River School, we recognize the value of working with our students to develop traits of good character. We teach and support the positive social-emotional growth of our children and, in doing so, we create a community of safe, kind, respectful, and responsible citizens. Throughout the school year, our students learn what it means to be a person of character, and they explore these six values of character. We schedule regular assemblies to introduce and celebrate each of our values, have specially designed activities to reinforce each one, and our classroom teachers and support staff interweave information about these character values with their regular class activities and curriculum. We encourage our children to be the best they can be, and to contribute to their family, school, community, and world by modeling these traits and demonstrating excellence of character!
