Be Respectful

Be Respectful

Treat others the way you want to be treated, using kind words and actions. Listen when others are speaking and value the ideas, space, and belongings of those around you. 

Be Responsible

Be Responsible

Take ownership of your actions and do your best, even when no one is watching. Come prepared, follow directions, and make choices that support your learning and the learning of others.

Safety Towards Others

Be Safe

Follow school rules, use materials properly, and keep hands and feet to yourself. Be aware of your surroundings and speak up if you see something that could be harmful to you or others.
