Character Education |
|
|
The Springdale School
District strongly believes that students who are most likely to succeed at
school are also students who have many traits associated with good
character. For that purpose, we established a district-wide focus on
character traits that will enhance student achievement. Our
"Character Education" program involves the reinforcement of good
character traits through the use of common vocabulary that highlights
behaviors that encourage good citizenship. |

Character education works best when the whole community embraces it. We invite and encourage parents, patrons and the business community to join us in this important effort. |

"Good character is that quality which makes one dependable whether being watched or not, which makes one truthful when it is to one's advantage to be a little less truthful, which makes one courageous when faced with great obstacles, which endows one with the firmness of wise self-discipline."
