Circles, Service, and CiCi's

Restorative Practices are a way to build relationships, connect with others!

For effective teaching and learning to take place, we believe good relationships need to be at the heart of everything that happens at Weatherford ISD and Crockett Elementary. That is why we have chosen to use Restorative Practices to build and maintain relationships between all community members, which will ultimately contribute to:

• Happier and safer schools
  
• Mutually respectful relationships
  
• More effective teaching and learning
  
• Increased attendance
  
• Increased morale and self-esteem
  
• A culture of inclusion and belonging

• Increased emotional literacy

Bring your family and come learn how you can use Restorative Practices at home!

At Crockett, we use Circles to get to know each other, teach social values, talk about social concerns, and maintain balance and respect of the classroom and school culture.

Your family will have an opportunity to participate in a Circle and learn how to conduct your own at home. You'll also leave with sample question that can be used for future family Circles.

Much of the power of the Circle process resides in the Talking Piece - the object we pass around the Circle as we invite each person to speak or to pass. The Talking Piece signifies equality and respect.

Stop by this station to create a Talking Piece with your family. Take it home and use it in your own Circles!

Our upcoming Core Essential Value for the month of February is SERVICE - Lending a hand to help someone else.

Did you know socks remain the #1 most requested clothing item at homeless shelters? Come decorate a pair with your family and let's give back! All socks will be donated to our local Manna and Center of Hope to be distributed to the homeless and underprivileged in our community.

Enjoy free pizza and drinks with your family and other Crockett friends! This is a great opportunity to meet other Roos and talk about the things you might have taken away from our Family Night activities.
