This speaks to the importance of fostering alliances with children. The relationships we build at Rowan are vital to our students’ academic and social growth. #lovesdschools#bettersd@sdschools
At Rowan, we use circles to foster alliances, build community, repair harm, and to address content. In our circles, all voices are heard and valued. #lovesdschools#bettersd@sdschools @restorativecircles
"A circle signifies that all participants are on the same playing field, which builds group ownership of maintaining the boundaries, expectations, and procedures."
A must-read 💯💯

“Every child deserves a champion, an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection & insists that they become the best that they can possibly be.” #JCCS teachers & partners are those champions. How they're #BreakingBarriers: https://t.co/0vFugSxN26
Did you know TK-5th Grade students at Rowan receive 30 weeks of ARTS instruction per year? Each child receives 10 weeks of instruction in DANCE, DRUMMING, and VISUAL ARTS thanks to a grant from Price Philanthropies! #lovesdschools#bettersd @arts4learningSD
Lots of kids come to school with invisible backpacks, weighted with struggles.
Stress, worry, fear, anxiety, trauma, loneliness, anger, sadness, & hopelessness can make them so heavy; too heavy for learning to happen.
Notice & love them instead.

Our Roadrunners are encouraged to follow our motto! Teachers are reading books about BEING KIND. Students are having discussions about what it means to BE BRAVE. Teachers are celebrating when they see students BEING RESPONSIBLE. And students are always encouraged to DREAM BIG!
After a full year of STEAM implementation, Rowan Teachers & Students in TK/K were rewarded with the most beautiful flexible seating furniture! Rowan is PROUD to continue this important work! This year, our 1st Grade team will embark on their STEAM journey! @sd_steam#bettersd
