Who We Are
Grayson Elementary School Purpose Statement
The purpose of Grayson Elementary School Staff is to create a cohesive environment of students, staff and families that empowers all to reach their full academic, and social-emotional potential.
Grayson Elementary School Belief Statement
We are a Gator family that believes we are greater together when...
...there is a balance between learning and fun,
...our words and actions are aligned to foster trust, and
...we rely on one another and support the entire community.
As you can see from our Purpose and Belief statement, we value a rigorous academic program as well as fostering our students' social and emotional development. For more information on our curriculum please click HERE. We have adopted the CASEL framework as the foundation of social and emotional learning at Grayson. You can find out more about CASEL by clicking HERE. The 5 CASEL competencies are below.
We also utilize Restorative Practices at Grayson Elementary. Circles are critical to how we foster problem solving skills and learn to repair harm. In addition to circles we are cognizant of using the Restorative Practice questions when responding to instances of harm and challenging behavior. Please see below for a list of those questions. You can find out more about Restorative Practices by clicking HERE.
