Section 3: School/Community Partnership

The school and community work together to create character initiatives. Community and parent involvement deepen and broaden support for Character Education. It is an intentional and proactive effort to promote a positive school climate that enhances student achievement by improving school attendance and reducing classroom conflicts, and that encourages community involvement and a lifelong commitment to helping others. Parents are provided information and encouraged to be positive role models as well as to take an active role in their child’s character development.
