Character Education at Clermont Elementary

Clermont strives to support positive behavior through a Responsive Classroom approach. We also promote our C.A.R.E Character Education Program which fosters safe and respectful actions. Our goal is to create a learning environment that encourages students to develop their academic, social, and emotional skills.  These two behavior approaches encompass safe, positive, and consistent practices that model, teach, and reteach expected behaviors.  As a result, we will continue to develop strong relationships and a caring community.

Our school expectations are based upon the CARE traits.

Acceptance is encouraged with the Buddy Bench. A buddy bench is a bench that you can sit on when you don’t have someone to play with. Students will come by and ask you if you want to play. The buddy bench is a simple idea to get rid of loneliness and encourage friendships.

Each year we have a special school-wide focus on a topic to reinforce the CARE program. This mural was created after a focus on accepting each person for who they are and celebrating our differences.

Students helped create our GRIT poem after having a special focus on how important it is to have GRIT when working on difficult tasks or when trying to reach a goal. This focus helped to reinforce our Effort character trait.
