HOW WE LIVE

Every Day

We Live Our Core Values Every Day

At Westport Heights, we believe that learning is about more than academics—it’s about building strong character and preparing our students to thrive in every aspect of life. Our four core values guide our choices, our interactions, and our enduring community spirit:

RESILIENCE

We encourage our students to face challenges with courage, persistence, and a positive attitude. Mistakes are opportunities to learn, and we celebrate the growth that comes from trying again.

Resilience is a tremendous superpower and a true measure of future success!

RESPECTFUL

We value kindness, empathy, and understanding. Every student, staff member, and family member is treated with dignity and respect while honoring the diverse backgrounds that make our community and our students united and strong.

Having respect for ourselves and others indicates the enduring quality of our character!

RESPONSIBLE

We take ownership of our actions, our learning, and our school environment. Our students understand early on that reliability, accountability, and integrity go a long way toward ensuring we all succeed in school and life.

Practicing these qualities makes us better prepared for the moments that lie ahead!

SAFE

We work together to create a welcoming, secure, and safe space where students can play, learn, and thrive without worry or fear. Safety is everyone’s right and responsibility. It is one of the pillars upon which a stable and thriving school environment is created and maintained.

At Westport Heights Elementary, safety is a requirement, not an option!

Why This Matters

When students practice these Core Values each day, they grow and thrive, not just as learners but as

caring, capable, and contributing members of our school, our community, and the world beyond!
