Bountiful Elementary is focusing on the theme of effort this month, according to a message from Principal Pickett. The school stated that while grades and achievements are important, the greatest growth occurs when students work hard and learn from mistakes.
The school message noted that effort builds resilience and confidence. Families are encouraged to praise persistence and discuss challenges or lessons learned from mistakes with their children to help them understand that success comes from consistent effort rather than perfection.
As part of the school's Make It Matter initiative, Bountiful Elementary is asking the community for anonymous feedback. The question for this month asks what kinds of effort, growth, or perseverance deserve more frequent notice at school.
Principal Pickett noted that feedback from the previous month indicated that families value clear and consistent expectations, specifically regarding dress code and personal items brought to school. The school intends to use this feedback to work toward better communication and clarity regarding school expectations.
The school requested that anonymous feedback remain focused on the monthly question and avoid including specific names or details that could identify individuals. For situations requiring follow-up or specific details, the school asks that families contact Principal Pickett or the school office directly.
