Student Success Skills

We are excited to announce that we will resume our FCS initiative which assists students in navigating the challenges and opportunities of middle school. Starting soon, your student's teachers will begin presenting Student Success Skill lessons. These lessons are designed to equip students with the tools they need to thrive both academically and socially, and to help them conform to our school's core values, known as the "Bear Way."

The lessons are based on six core standards that are essential for success in middle school and beyond:

  • Self-awareness: Understanding one's own emotions, strengths, and weaknesses.
  • Sense of Belonging: Feeling connected and valued as part of the school community.
  • Collaborative Problem Solving: Working effectively with others to find solutions.
  • Reflective Learning Strategies: Thinking about one's own learning process to improve.
  • Self-management: Regulating one's emotions, behaviors, and thoughts in different situations.
  • Social Competence: Communicating and interacting with others in a positive way.

By focusing on these skills, we believe we can better support our students as they grow into responsible, successful young adults. We encourage you to ask your children about these lessons and discuss how they can apply these skills in their daily lives. Please review the parent packet attached which provides more details regarding this curriculum. 

Thank you for your continued partnership in your child's education.
