We always...
Listen when others are talking
Wait our turn
Respect personal space by keeping hands, feet, and objects to ourselves
Use respectful language at all times and in all situations
Walk quietly in single file through our building
In the lunchroom we...
Remain seated during lunch
Talk in quiet voices
Raise our hand to ask for help or permission
Keep food on the table and clean up after ourselves
Wait for the teacher to dismiss the class
Line up quietly
During carpool we...
Remain seated
Listen quietly for carpool numbers
Walk to our car
And remember...
The school day begins when we enter the building!
