Something new we are going to introduce this year is the Portrait of a Bobcat, which defines the characteristics that we want our students to display each and every day. We want all of our students to exhibit the 5 C’s: Critical Thinking, Creativity, Communication, Citizenship, and Community.
- Critical Thinking: We are problem solvers who strive to be curious, motivated, and reflective learners who engage in meaningful work.
- Creativity: We are academic risk takers who embrace innovative thinking and new experiences and view challenges as opportunities for growth.
- Communication: We are active listeners with diverse backgrounds who collaborate and encourage others through positive, written and verbal, interactions.
- Citizenship: We are inclusive global leaders who are compassionate, respectful, and positively impact others in our diverse community.
- Community: We are contributing members that promote the well-being and connections of all students, families, and staff.
