The Alcott Five

• Am I following directions?
• Am I showing respect for myself, my school, and others?
• Am I using acceptable language?
• Am I keeping my hands and feet to myself?
• Am I prepared to learn?

Statement of Staff Beliefs

• We believe students, parents, school personnel and community all have a shared responsibility for student learning.
• Every student is an important individual with his/her own intellectual, emotional, and social needs.
• We believe that learning is best achieved in a safe and caring environment.
• The Alcott learning community views inappropriate behaviors as “teachable moments” and uses these opportunities for guidance rather than punishment. 
• We believe there is immeasurable value in creativity, the arts and healthy physical activity.
• By working together with each other in the Alcott learning community, we believe we can make a positive difference in our students’ lives.
