Habits of Work and Learning (HOWLs) / RC8 HOWLs

Habits of Work and Learning (referred to as HOWLs) are a set of academic mindsets and character traits on which life-long success is built. These mindsets will be specifically taught and emphasized throughout the school year as we work to develop a culture of inquiry where students and adults are active and engaged learners.
