Our core values are represented in one word: CLIMB. CLIMB represents our expectations for our learning community to exercise Commitment, show Leadership, demonstrate Integrity, be Mindful, and maintain Balance. These expectations are taught to our students at the beginning of the school year and reviewed throughout the year. By combining acknowledgment of positive student behavior through our core values, our faculty and staff strive to create and maintain a learning environment that maximizes instructional time, increases student achievement, and fosters a productive and safe learning environment.
CLIMB is our school's strategy to help all students succeed by implementing PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports). PBIS is an evidence-based framework to improve and integrate all the data, systems, and practices affecting student outcomes daily.
On Fridays, our students participate in an additional instructional period called CLIMB. CLIMB is approximately 40 minutes. The CLIMB Period provides staff members the opportunity to support students in one of the following areas:
- CLIMB Instructional Period (during Friday mornings)
- CLIMB Instructional Period provides students enrichment or remediation opportunities for the standards being taught based on summative assessments (like chapter tests). It also provides students with the skills to do their best in their classes and promotes them to the next grade level through academic goal-setting and progress monitoring.
- CLIMB Behavior Period (during Friday afternoons)
- CLIMB Behavior Expectation provides students enrichment or remediation opportunities based on our core values and the behaviors that reflect within those values. It also provides students with the skills to do their best in their classes and promotes them to the next grade level through academic goal-setting and progress monitoring.
