Character Traits

At BYMS, we believe in educating the whole child, both academically and socially.  We have adopted a character education program based on the following character traits:  Courtesy, Commitment, Respect, Appreciation, Initiative, Responsibility, Self-Discipline, Honesty,Cooperation and Success. The character traits are the foundation for showing good character from the time a student rides a school bus, to learning in a classroom, eating lunch, and interacting with others. The character traits become part of the common language among students and staff, and students are encouraged and recognized for showing good character. The character traits are visible throughout the campus and are evident in how students and staff interact every day. Showing good character supports a positive school climate and safe, caring learning environment.
