At Parkway School, we believe that developing strong character is just as important as academic success. That is why we are proud to continue our character education initiative, now called the Pillars of Parkway C.A.R.E.S. for the 2025–2026 school year.

Parkway C.A.R.E.S. stands for Cooperation, Assertiveness, Responsibility, Empathy, and Self-Control, which are key traits that help our students grow into kind, confident, and responsible individuals.

This initiative is designed to support students’ emotional well-being, foster positive relationships, and build a strong sense of community throughout our school. Through engaging lessons, daily discussions, and classroom activities, students will explore each of the C.A.R.E.S. pillars and learn how to apply them in their everyday lives.

This year, each class will showcase their learning by creating Google Slides presentations that highlight all the wonderful ways they demonstrate the C.A.R.E.S. traits in action. These projects will be shared during our schoolwide virtual assemblies, celebrating our collective growth and commitment to kindness, respect, and responsibility.

By working together as students, teachers, and families, we can continue to nurture a school environment where everyone feels valued and supported.

Below, you will find links to our schoolwide virtual assemblies as well as a Pillars of Parkway C.A.R.E.S. poster, which outlines each of the five traits and the ways we practice them every day at Parkway. We look forward to another year of building strong character and a caring community at Parkway School.
