Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!
Relationships– Connect & Belong
Our first priority is to build a positive relationship with each 2nd grader. We also proactively foster connections among students as we work to establish our Castle Rock community.
Here are a few ways we will connect with students and begin to grow our relationships:
People won’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.”
-Teddy Roosevelt
Emotional Regulation
Emotional regulation is the ability to understand and manage your feelings and behavior in appropriate ways in order to connect with others and optimize learning.
��R.A.M.S.��RESPECT ALL�ATTEND�MOTIVATED TO LEARN �SAFETY �
Making mistakes is one of the best ways your brain learns and grows!
-Our R.A.M.S. expectations are taught, reviewed and practiced regularly.
-Staff work with individual students to “Stop, Think and Reset” when needed.
-If a concerning behavior persists, a staff member will contact parents and/or the student will bring home a referral sheet to be signed and returned.
Every day is a fresh start!
