Character Links

The Character Links program provides a systematic framework to help establish a common language and link the leadership of our district to schools, classrooms, homes, and the community. The program is simple to use, is aligned to state accountability standards, has a strong family involvement component, and helps to instill in our children the basic foundation of good character.

This process not only reinforces key character attributes but is designed to support academic and community goals as well. This process involves the utilization of the following links: The Leader Link, The Principal Link, The Teacher Link, The Student Link, The Home/Family Link, The Community Link, The Journal Link, The Service Link, The Bus Link and The Everybody Link.
