Tribes

Our school community has been transformed by embracing the research-based process of Tribes Learning Communities. All faculty and support staff have participated in intensive professional development to learn how to develop a caring learning environment and how to use an active learning approach that promotes healthy student development, increases motivation, and improves academic achievement. The Tribes Agreements, visible in each classroom, help us to develop a safe, respectiful learning environment. The Agreements are:
• Attentive Listening
• Appreciations/ No Put-downs
• Mutual Respect
• Right to Pass
• Let Go and Move On
• Parents, teachers, students and visitors sense the unique feeling of caring and support that Tribes has brought to our school. Here is what students say about tribes:
• “It helps you learn to speak up. “
• “You get greater respect for your friends.”
• “You learn how lucky you are to be a member of this school community.”
(Quotes supplied by Emily Kirk, Kailie Lynn, Kate Ballew, and Kyr and Anika Sichelstiel.)

Parent Quote

The first thing that comes to my mind is Jay's [Secor, Headmaster] memory! He is amazing when it comes to remembering names. Not only can he recall every child by name but most parents, too!! It makes one feel "special" when you are called by your name.
Ann, mother of ___________.
