The Positivity Project logo

CCS and Patriots are excited to introduce our community to The Positivity Project this year! You may also hear us refer to it as "P-2!" All students will be presented these lessons in their classrooms and participate in character building in the comfort of their classroom community. For more information, and to explore the program, we have linked the P2 website!

The Resiliency Collaborative logo

We are continuing to utilize the Reconnect for Resiliency program to support our staff, students, and families. It is a program that teaches us to recognize when we have been bumped out of our "Resilience Zone" and what strategies to use to return to it.

When we are in our Resilience Zone, we are able to communicate our needs and feelings, we can problem solve, and we use our rational, thinking brain. It is where we always want to be, even when challenges arise.

We will continue to teach students emotional regulation, using Second Step, and conflict resolution, using Kelso's Choice skills. Below are the posters we have in each classroom at school. The students begin learning from both programs in kindergarten and each subsequent year.
