The new Fair Oaks Ranch Community School commenced CHARACTER COUNTS! from its very first day. The whole staff took part in the training from the outset, and character information followed daily on a TV program run by anchormen in the GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) program. At the end of each month students perform a skit on TV that demonstrates how to exercise the monthly trait in the home, school and community.

In addition, kids in primary grades learn music with Character Classics: classical music with lyrics on character themes. They also learn about the lives of the composers, the struggles they underwent in their personal lives, and how they overcame them.

Att Valley View Community School, character is part of the “road” network. Whenever visitors need directions to the office, classroom, or library, they follow the CHARACTER COUNTS! street signs posted throughout the campus: Respect Road, Caring Court, Fairness Freeway, Trustworthiness Avenue, Citizenship Court and Responsibility Boulevard. In addition the school has a Polite Place, Courtesy Corner, and Justice Road (at the principal's office). A large wooden post with all the street names stands in the center pod of the school building.
