Stiles Elementary School

At Stiles Elementary School, we believe that building character is important. We believe that our school will help students become prepared for life. We emphasize academics and being well informed. In addition, we expect students to develop the capacity to live responsibly and to judge wisely in life and conduct.

We emphasize seven virtue qualities: honesty, respect, responsibility, compassion, self-discipline, perseverance, and giving. As we talk about, define and practice these virtues at school, we also know our Stiles families can use the vocabulary and virtues at home.

Every week we give Wildcat Virtue Awards to students. We read their names on the morning news, take their picture and give them a prize. We share how they were showing a virtue so that students know what it looks like. Families can also give their student(s) Virtue awards at home. Students may bring their slip to school and they will be posted in the cafeteria and then returned to the student.
