The 8 Keys of Excellence

The 8 Keys of Excellence are an important component of Quantum Learning. These Keys teach students life skills and are character building tools which help students work through social situations, classroom responsibilities, and self-discipline. Our school uses the common language of the 8 Keys so that students all understand the behavioral expectations and high level of accountability the Keys address. The 8 Keys are:

Integrity, Failure Leads to Success, Speak With Good Purpose, This Is It!, Commitment, Ownership, Flexibility, and Balance.

Each Key has specific aspects which help students make important decisions at school. They are intrinsically tied together in that they have similar goals in different Keys, such as Integrity and Speak With Good Purpose both require honesty and thoughtfulness. Failure Leads to Success and Commitment both require persistence in order to achieve.

If you wish to learn more about The 8 Keys of Excellence, please check the www.qln.com website. There is much rich information for incorporating The 8 Keys and Quantum Learning.

Mary Farmar Elementary School - Where Learning Takes Flight!

Wendy Smith

 Spring is Here!  We have a very busy end of the school year in the works. We are all excited about the amazing Rio Carnival fundraiser auction this year put on by our hardworking PTA. Also, this week is our Walk and Roll run by our Dad's Club and PTA, culminating in the Bike Rodeo on Friday after school.  We have so many events coming up including our Safety Assmbly, Vallejo Symphony Assembly, STAR Testing, and other end of the year activities. Keep an eye for the newsletter coming home and any other phone calls and notes about special events. Thank you to all for your support of our great school.  Remember to help your children make every day a great learning day!
