EXPECTED BEHAVIORS
The Code of Conduct at FWMS is derived from the Native American concept of the Circle of Courage based on four key principles: Mastery, Independence, Generosity, and Belonging. To help illustrate these pillars of respect, we created the “FWMS anagram”:
F – Family – Everybody belongs and is an important part of the Woods community. As a community member, you have rights and responsibilities. (Belonging)
W – Welcoming/warmth/wonder – Everyone, staff, students, parents, and community members should feel comfortable, safe and welcomed at our school. We believe that to build this generosity of spirit, everyone should “choose kind”. (Generosity)
M – Mastery of academic and social skills is the driving force behind all our work. (Mastery)
S – Self-directed learning and discipline lead to success both in and out of school. (Independence)
