- Respect one another and help your fellow students.
We respect other's race, religion, sex or difference. Think before you say or do something to someone else that might be hurtful or disrespectful. You must keep your hands to yourselves at all times. You should not fight, call each other names, use curses or scream at each other. Bring only appropriate materials to school (no electronic games, cell phones, etc.).
We should always be willing to help one another. If a classmate is confused by a lesson, offer your help. If s/he feels bad about something, be there as a friend to listen or say a kind word.
- Respect school property.
Help to keep the school clean. If you see paper on the floor anywhere in our school, you should pick it up - even if you did not throw it there. When you use the bathroom, you should flush. The bathrooms are not a play or meeting area. You should not play with the toilet paper or throw we paper on the ceiling. Children who deface the bathroom will be required to clean it up.
While walking down the halls, you should not scream or talk in a loud voice, since other children are in their room learning. Use proper line-up procedures at all times, especially arrival and dismissal line up. There is absolutely No Running at any time in the hallways or stairwells.
- Safety in the Yard
In the school yard, school aides and a supervisor are in charge to make sure that you are safe. Please listen to and follow their instructions. If you are asked to stop running or playing in a rough manner, please STOP! When the yard is crowded it is very easy to trip or push into someone. Look in front of you and around you. Remember, keep your hands to yourself. When you use the jungle gym, do not walk up the slide or push anyone on the slide. Swing across the hanging bars in one direction and no one should run under this area. When you hear a whistle, you are to STOP playing immediately, line up in a orderly way and wait for your teacher.
