    Character Strong / PurposeFULL People
    Character Strong / PurposeFULL People is about creating a school culture that incorporates a child’s social emotional and character development in one.  Character Strong is research based, providing vertically aligned lessons and activities that teach Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, Relationship Skills and Responsible Decision-Making skills.  Throughout the year we will be focusing on the following character traits; responsibility, empathy, gratitude, honesty, kindness, perseverance, respect and creativity.  At the beginning of each month, students are encouraged to wear a particular color to recognize the trait we are focusing on.  CLICK HERE for a list of the traits, dates and colors to wear. 
    We recognize students weekly on the morning announcements, when they are nominated by a staff member for displaying outstanding character.   The Character Strong program supports not only the students but also the entire Campbell Family (students, staff & families). By supporting social emotional health, this will positively impact a student’s academic success as well as build relationships and prepare them for the future.  

    KEYS
    KEYS (Keep Encouraging Youth toward Success) is a district program in which adults can apply to mentor students on elementary, junior high, or high school campuses.  Campbell students are nominated for this program by ACE staff members, and parent consent is required. Students who are involved in the program may also be eligible for a KEYS scholarship.  If you are interested in becoming a KEYS mentor, please CLICK HERE to visit the district website to learn more.

    PALS
    The Katy Independent School district has a very special mentoring program called PALS (Peer Assistance Leadership Skills).  Our school has been fortunate enough to be paired with PALS from Tompkins High School who will act as mentors to selected students at Campbell Elementary.  These high school students must meet eligibility through training standards and participate in a selection process to become one of these dynamic peer leaders.
    Campbell students are nominated for this program by ACE staff members, and parent consent is required.  Students are chosen for PALS based on a variety of reasons.  PALS are considered an extra cheerleader, a role model, a support system, an encourager, an ear to listen, and so much more.

    ACE Kindness Crew
    The Kindness Crew consists of students in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade.  Students meet once a month with the counselors, and complete a project promoting kindness, as well as school and community unity.   You can see all of the amazing things the ACE Kindness Crew is doing on Twitter @ACEkindness and #ACEkindkids.
     

    Bullying Awareness
    At ACE, we feel it is vital to educate students, staff and parents on bullying.  Every student in the school receives a guidance lesson that is focused on bully prevention and intervention during Bully Awareness Month.  Knowing the difference between someone who is being mean, rude and bullying can be a bit confusing.  CLICK HERE for the Campbell's Bullying Information Handout, to see what the students are learning and how much you as their parent really knows regarding bullying.
    Our goal at ACE is to be proactive in creating a school culture of KINDNESS by having weekly kindness challenges, community circles, and monthly kindness projects led by the Kindness Crew.  Katy ISD also has a strong stance against bullying.

    PBIS
    What Is PBIS? PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Support) is a proactive, schoolwide framework to teach and positively reinforce behavior within our building.
    ● Relationship building with students is critical.
    ● Expectations are set and taught for all settings (classroom, hallway, café, etc.).
    ● Interventions help teach appropriate behaviors to students.
    ​● Acknowledgement of students displaying appropriate behaviors is essential.
