Lifeskills The basis for positive behavior at R.P.E.S. is our
schools Lifeskills Program. Students work on the human qualities in
the classroom and outside in the playground. The Lifeskills will be
discussed and practiced daily in the classroom and outside of the
classroom as well. As a school, we will be focusing on 5
lifeskills: Caring: To feel and show concern for others. Respect:
To give particular attention and high or special regard. Courage-
To have the strength to do whats right. Determination- To not give
up on your goal Responsibility: To respond appropriately, to be
accountable for your actions. Honors are given away to students who
are seen following the lifeskills, and entered in a raffle.
