Connection
A strong connection between students and their teachers, community and themselves fosters a supportive and enriching environment for young learners.
We celebrate the greatness of the individual by recognizing their worthiness and capability.
We believe that there are consequences to behaviors and those help students to make thoughtful choices moving forward.
At our core…
Exceptional Connections, Exceptional Education:
In a world that often rushes into teaching, we recognize the paramount importance of fostering strong feelings of safety and connection. Our commitment starts with dedicating the first two weeks of each school year to building relationships and setting clear expectations. This exclusive focus on connection allows us to tailor our approach to each student, helping them discover the ways they learn best.
Community Involvement Beyond the Classroom:
At Shady Oak Primary, we go beyond the traditional education model. We actively engage with our educational partners, welcome parental input, and build close ties within the community. Your child doesn’t just join a school; they become a vital part of a rich, supportive village within the town of Richmond, Texas.
Whole Child Commitment:
From the moment your child steps through our doors, they become our utmost priority—a cherished member of our extended family. Our commitment to the whole child, focusing on spirit, character, and mind, ensures their transformation and growth. The connections and fulfilling relationships they build here prepare them not just academically but for a brighter future ahead.
End Each Day with Empowering Connections:
Our school day concludes uniquely with the Daily Compliment Circle. This special ritual encourages students to create positive connections by sharing deep and meaningful compliments. This practice not only fosters a culture of positivity within our campus but equips your child with essential interpersonal skills that extend far beyond the classroom.
