Creighton's Corner Teachers love reading to our students! Twice a month we pick a book that pairs with the 7 habits to read to our children. At the end of each read aloud is a question for families and students to discuss together! We hope you enjoy all of our 7 habit book discussions!

Once a month our school sends home a lighthouse spotlight to our families highlighting leadership skills we focus on at school. The lighthouse spotlight encourages families to continue these leadership skills at home, and gives examples of how to do it!

Staff members volunteer in the recreation center at one of our lower-income communities. Our purpose is to build deeper relationships with our students and their families.

A schedule has been created to provide monthly 7 Habits trainings for families. Trainings are held in the mornings and evenings to accommodate parent schedules. During the trainings, we have provided opportunities for the students to participate in 7 Habits activities. Students taught the Big Rocks lesson, The 20 Effective Strategies, and 4DX to families at our PTA meeting in March. This year during distance learning, we hold all of our parent trainings virtually.

Quarterly ‘Family Challenges’ are sent home for families to complete together. It gives students a chance to teach and implement the 7 Habits at home. Topics include: creating family mission statements, creating personal and family goals, prioritizing big rocks, and sharpening the saw. Returned work is displayed on bulletin boards and televisions around the school.

We regularly communicate with families regarding their child’s successes, leadership roles, use of the 7 Habits and victories. We use a variety of communication tools, such as: Twitter, phone calls and other apps. Click on the picture to the left to see our Twitter page!

Leader in Me resources are utilized for weekly emails and Twitter.

Family activities and discussion prompts are provided and encouraged.
