Building Community/Relationships – All classrooms start their day with a morning community-building circle. This allows all students to be included and share, building relationships, connections, and trust, and establishing a classroom community.
Repairing Harm – We teach students that mistakes happen and are a part of the learning process. When a mistake happens and harm is caused, we believe that is a teachable moment instead of a time to punish. We teach students to own their mistake and do the work to fix it and repair any harm that was caused; teaching students to be accountable to their community for their actions or choices.

RULER Social and Emotional Learning Curriculum 6-8
RULER is an evidence-based approach to social and emotional learning (SEL) that all students and staff grades 6-8 receive training and instruction on through their homebase.
RULER is an acronym for teaching students that our emotions matter:
R-recognizing emotions
U-understanding emotions
L-labeling emotions
E-expressing emotions
R-regulating emotions
Unit 1 centers around lessons to build a charter, a set of expectations that students want to set to help their classroom feel safe and like a place where students can learn and thrive.
Unit 2 students learn about the Mood Meter, a tool used to help identify our emotions and track our emotions over time and across different settings.
Unit 3 focuses on the Meta-Moment, which is a tool that guides students to take a moment to stop and think about how we want to respond before responding to an emotion.
Unit 4 introduces and explores the tool Blueprint, which we use to help us reflect and problem solve through conflict by first considering others’ perspectives and then working to express and listen to others’ perspectives.
First Witness is a child advocacy center located in Duluth that works with the students and staff at our buildings. – https://firstwitness.org/
