Character Education
As part of our Character Education program, each month we focus on and learn about a different character attribute adopted by the Grand Erie District School Board. Every morning, during announcements, we hear a relevant quote and try to incorporate that into our daily actions. Students who consistently demonstrate that attribute are recognized at our monthly assemblies.
- September - Responsibility
- October - Cooperation
- November - Courage
- December - Compassion
- January - Integrity
- February - Respect
- March - Humility
- April - Inclusiveness
- May - Perseverance
Academic Recognition
Every month, students are recognized for their academic achievements. The following are some possible reasons why a student would receive an academic award:
- They earned high marks for an assignment, test, or unit.
- They have made improvements in a number of subjects.
- They have made great strides in a certain topic or subject (improved reading levels, improved math knowledge, etc.)
