Greater Good Magazine from the University of California, Berkeley’s Psychology Research Center published an excellent guide to “Helping our students become their best selves.”  This resource reinforces the skills and habits we’ve shared with you. Working with us, you can help your student prepare for a lifetime of rewarding challenges and relationships.
  • Habits of mind allow students to pursue professional and academic excellence—including tenacity, thoroughness, creativity, and intellectual honesty and humility.
  • Habits of heart strengthen their friendships, family relationships, and communities—including empathy, compassion, respect, and gratitude.
  • Habits of character allow them to face challenges and embrace opportunities—including courage, temperance, responsibility, and integrity.
The Bellevue School District acknowledges that we learn, work, live and gather on the Indigenous Land of the Coast Salish peoples, specifically the Duwamish and Snoqualmie Tribes. We thank these caretakers of this land, who have lived and continue to live here, since time immemorial.
