Creating a caring Community Action Plan

The Board of Education in Forest Ridge Elementary School District 142 met in the late summer and early fall of the 2010-2011 School year to review its mission, vision and
goals. Through multiple discussions, the mission was updated, a vision was developed and goals were written to ensure alignment and compliance with the mission and vision
of the district. As an outgrowth of this process, administration, staff and parents began meeting regarding the need to develop a ‘Creating a Caring Community’ with a focus
on developing prosocial behavior. In depth discussions between participants occurred regarding the issues of respectful behavior and bullying. The relationship between the
adults within the school community was highlighted as paramount to the district’s focus on the creating of a community that encourages healthy social and emotional
development.
