All scholars and teachers are expected to honor the code of RESPECT. Our classroom communities will work together to make this happen. We are dedicated to exhibited these traits in all aspects of school life. Teachers and staff, while adhering to our code of RESPECT, will create incentives, rewards and consequences based on individual scholar needs. Teachers are committed to creating a fair and safe environment for all scholars. We will work with parents to ensure this goal is reached. It is our hope that parents see our code of RESPECT as beneficial and we encourage all parents to use it at home as they deem necessary. |
