PURE Spirit
Have you ever been in a place and it just felt good to be there? We strive to make PURE that place. PURE Spirit is an ongoing process of creating a positive environment that encourages learning and personal growth. But PURE Spirit isn't just for our students, it is for everyone; our students, our staff, and all friends and family who enter our building.
PURE Spirit is, in essence, guidelines for behavior and interactions that teaches us how to be good to one another so every person may feel feel safe and cared for. It helps individuals to feel included and appreciated, respected for their uniqueness, active in their own learning, and that they are likely to succeed along with their peers.
There are many ways to show your PURE Spirt. Encourage a fellow student, show kindness to a parent, participate fully in class, tidy up a mess; anything that contributes to the well-being of others. PURE Sprit can be expressed in subtle and overt ways, meaning that there are times when PURE Sprit can be easily observed, and other times when it is unseen.
PURE Spirit is based on the widely respected Four Tribes Agreements: Mutual Respect, Attentive Listening, Appreciation—No Put Downs, and The Right to Participate. All staff use these agreements in their classroom and professional interactions.
