DEVELOPING CHARACTER AT CROUGHTON

 

CAS is dedicated to success for all students.  Our students will be kids of character by exploring the meaning of TRRFCC. Students will participate in activities during the school year to help each of them learn to be a true person of character. TRRFCC behavior leads to TRRFCC character. 

 

The following character traits will be the thread that holds the school together:

 

CHARACTER COUNTS! Six Pillars of Character

T rustworthiness
R espect
R esponsibility
F airness
C aring
C itizenship

 

Each month the school will focus on one of the Six Pillars of Character.  The list is as follows:

CHAIN OF COMMAND-COMMUNICATION

 

It is important that lines of communication between students, parents, teachers, and principal be kept open.  DoDEA, like the military, utilizes a chain of command.  Every attempt will be made to resolve issues or problems at the school level.  However, if the problem cannot be resolved through either the classroom teacher or school principal it will be moved to the next level for resolution.
