smart-goalsFrom the Principal's Desk

Family goals are the way in which families live and carry out their family vision and family mission statement. Once you have defined who you are as a family and what you want for yourselves and each other, it is time to take action and define family goals to help you achieve your vision. Family goals are a very powerful way to build trust, communication, and cohesiveness, as well a great way to teach kids how to set and achieve personal goals.

The point of the family goal is that the entire family works on it together from creation to completion and that the entire family (not just mom and dad) have ownership.

What are your family goals and how do you plan on reaching those goals?

Tips for Setting Goals

  • Every family member should participate
  • Don't have too many goals at once
  • Family goals can be set at any time during the year
  • Make sure you set SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound)
  • Write the family goals gown
  • Schedule time
