Caldwell ISD Character

Caldwell ISD believes that good character is essential for success in life. Our teachers and students are committed to internalize, promote, and be an example of great character. Students in grades K through 12th grade participate in a character curriculum.

 

 

Grades K through 3rd primarily use the Core Essential Values curriculum. This curriculum focuses on a core value word of the month and involves everyone in the school to implement the word and demonstrate it in their words and actions. Core equips students, staff, and families to SAY IT, KNOW IT, SEE IT, AND BE IT each month.
