Character really does count and at CUSD we've taken that to heart. CHARACTER COUNTS! is a national non-partisan character education program that has been integrated into the District's culture and curriculum. The program teaches kids basic values that transcend cultural, religious and socioeconomic differences. These values- trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship- are called the "Six Pillars of Character."
CUSD's teachers, administration and volunteers have been trained to model these pillars in their daily life with students and the community as a whole. CUSD's curriculum emphasizes these values in a conscientious effort to instill the abilities that will help our students become responsible, honorable and caring adults. We do not seek to assume parental responsibilities, but to reinforce to our students the importance of trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship as they mature into tomorrow's leaders.
I was gonna ask if pedophiles counted before I realized we're talking about the public school system.
