At Charles Quentin, Character Counts! ™

Charles Quentin is participating in Character Counts! ™.  This program is a district-wide initiative in all of our elementary schools for teaching character education.  Its positive impact is most effective when parents, school, and community join together to model, teach, and set expectations for the display of character and behavior that we all value.  One of the core philosophies behind Character Counts! ™ states:

 

The character and conduct of our youth reflect the character and conduct of  society: 

therefore, every adult has the responsibility to teach and model the core ethical values
 and every social institution has the responsibility to promote the development of
development of good character.
 
The  six pillars of character emphasized are:  Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship.  Using the first letter of each character trait, we can make the acronym T.R.R.F.C.C. (Sounds like “Terrific”).  This acronym will help your child remember the six character traits so that he/she will be a “T.R.R.F.C.C.” person.  We will build a strong foundation by introducing one pillar at a time while continuing to encourage the display of those already introduced. 
 
Listed below is the District 95 Character Counts! ™ schedule.  Each month the elementary schools will focus on a different character trait.  Click on the links below for more information.  All links are PDF files.
