Core Competencies

At Hamline Elementary, we want our students to leave fifth grade with more than enough knowledge and skills in order to be successful in their future academic careers and individual life paths.

Our Hamline Elementary team worked together and developed five core competencies that we believe are essential in supporting our students in their lives. These five competencies are incorporated throughout each day and thoughtfully aligned within our curriculum.

  1. Huskies are COLLABORATORS
    We work together towards a common goal.
  2. Huskies are COMMUNICATORS
    We share and express ideas and thoughts in multiple ways. We listen and hear others' thoughts and ideas.
  3. Huskies are CREATORS
    We find different ways to invent, produce and make things.
  4. Huskies are CRITICAL THINKERS
    We wonder, observe and explore. We can follow an active path to find answers and solve problems. We believe that mistakes help us grow.
  5. Huskies are SELF AND COMMUNITY AWARE
    We understand our thoughts, feelings and values. We realize that our choices impact the world around us.
