🌟 Respect – Respeto 🌟

Dear Families,

This week, our school community is focusing on Respect as part of our Capturing Kids’ Hearts (CKH) work.

Students are learning that respect means showing care for themselves, others, and their learning environment. Throughout the week, classrooms will practice respectful behaviors such as listening when others speak, using kind words, following directions, and treating school materials with care.

We encourage families to reinforce this message at home by talking with your child about:

What respect looks like at school and at home
How their words and actions affect others
Ways they can show respect even when emotions are strong

Thank you for partnering with us as we help students grow into respectful, responsible members of our school community. Together, we are building strong relationships and a positive learning environment for all.

Estimadas familias:

Esta semana, nuestra comunidad escolar se centra en el respeto como parte de nuestro programa Capturing Kids’ Hearts (CKH).

Los estudiantes están aprendiendo que el respeto significa mostrar consideración por sí mismos, por los demás y por su entorno de aprendizaje. Durante la semana, en las aulas se practicarán comportamientos respetuosos, como escuchar cuando otros hablan, usar palabras amables, seguir instrucciones y cuidar el material escolar.

Les animamos a que refuercen este mensaje en casa hablando con sus hijos sobre:

Qué significa el respeto en la escuela y en casa

Cómo sus palabras y acciones afectan a los demás

Maneras de mostrar respeto incluso cuando las emociones son intensas

Gracias por colaborar con nosotros para ayudar a los estudiantes a convertirse en miembros respetuosos y responsables de nuestra comunidad escolar. Juntos, estamos construyendo relaciones sólidas y un ambiente de aprendizaje positivo para todos.

We are now a Capturing Kids Hearts School. The primary focus of Capturing Kids’ Hearts (CKH) is to develop healthy relationships between all members of the school community. CKH is a framework that helps good teachers become better by equipping them with tools with which they can build meaningful relationships with their students, provide a safe environment in which students want to learn, and develop a dialogue for team-building. Teachers utilizing the CKH framework are dedicated to building classrooms where trust, respect, and caring relationships flourish. We are committed to implementing these processes at HRE.

Ahora somos una escuela que Captura el Corazón de los Niños. El enfoque principal de Captura el Corazón de los Niños (CKH) es desarrollar relaciones saludables entre todos los miembros de la comunidad escolar. CKH es un marco que ayuda a los buenos docentes a mejorar, brindándoles herramientas para construir relaciones significativas con sus estudiantes, brindar un entorno seguro donde los estudiantes deseen aprender y fomentar el diálogo para fomentar el trabajo en equipo. Los docentes que utilizan el marco CKH se dedican a construir aulas donde prosperen la confianza, el respeto y las relaciones afectivas. En HRE, nos comprometemos a implementar estos procesos.
