The Donlon community is committed to preparing all of our students to lead happy, healthy and productive lives. We strive to create a community of character by emphasizing the District's character traits and through our commitment to the use of Lifeskills on a daily basis. Our goal is to have students strive to become informed citizens ready to participate in a culturally diverse society.

Our classrooms are practicing Lifelong Guidelines and Lifeskills. These differ from regular school rules because they apply to all age groups in all situations, thus the term Lifeskills. They form the basis for agreement about behavior and expectations, both social and academic, between teacher and students and among students. You are encouraged to learn about them (ask your child!) and reinforce them at home.
