At the Dr. Albert Bean School, we focus on creating a safe and welcoming environment for all our students. Each class receives anti-bullying education through the use of the Olweus Lessons. We also participate in the statewide “Week of Respect” each October.

Pillars of Character
At the Bean school, we value good character traits and social emotional learning. Throughout the school year, students learn and practice six important character traits: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship.
We encourage all students to practice the character traits of trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship throughout the year. Each month teachers and our guidance counselor, Mrs. Degrande, teach lessons connected to the character trait of the month. It is also communicated through the daily SEL (social-emotional learning) lessons. A student from each classroom is then nominated to receive an award for displaying exemplary character traits of that month.
