As we settle into the New Year, it is a great time to review a few behavioral expectations in place at school. We ask that you take a moment to review this information with your child. We thank you for your support in our efforts to maintain a safe, caring, engaging and supportive learning environment for our students.
- There should be no physical contact with other students in school. This includes friendly horseplay, "messing around", etc. Disciplinary action will be imposed for students violating this expectation.
- Students are to keep their cell phones and Air-pods in their locker at all times during the school day
- No running and horse playing
- Treat all with respect
- Keep your hands and other objects to yourself
- Respect other peoples space and their belongings
- Use appropriate language throughout the school day
- Follow classroom rules and directions
