At Bryant Elementary
we live by the
Eight Keys of Excellence.



We have stated beliefs and values.
We know and understand them.
Our behavior reflects them.

We are not fearful of making mistakes.
We take time to learn from mistakes and improve our systems.
We believe that failures are opportunities for growth.

We speak positively with good intent. (No swearing, put downs, gossip)
We feel safe to be honest and direct.
We walk our talk.

We are focused on our goals and objectives.
We make the most of every moment.
We acknowledge/accept where we are in good times and challenging times.

We have a clear vision and solidly follow it.
We do whatever it takes to get the job done.
We can count on each other to keep our word.

We are accountable for our actions.
We take responsibility naturally.
We see what needs to be done and do it.

We keep goals in view and change strategies easily to reach them.
When something isn't working, we'll try another way. (No ego here!)
We'll ask for help when needed. (Versus "I'll do it myself no matter what!")

My personal goals and values are aligned with my school's.
We respect personal and professional needs and keep them in balance.
We value a healthy mind, body, spirit and emotions.
