Introducing Sloatsburg Elementary School's Character Education Program for the 2022-23 School Year.
Each month, students are treated to a school-wide assembly or "Pirate Rally" in which various character traits are revealed and discussed. Students follow the Pirate's Treasure Chest, which is a school-wide charter that displays how we want to feel in school, emphasizing respect for ourselves and others. Each month, a new principle of the charter will be highlighted.
SEPTEMBER - Respect for all!
