GOD KNOWS WE CAN!

Classroom Rules and Consequences

These rules aren’t new.  In fact, the whole school follows them.  Here goes:

1. Follow directions the first time given.
2. Stay in your seat to work.
3. Raise hand before speaking.
4. Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself.
5. Be kind and respectful at all times.

We also recite the Values Code in the morning.  This is a list of 13 important values that we strive to have.  They are as follows:

• Honesty.  I will be an honest person.
• Respect.  I am respectful of others.
• Responsibility.  I take responsibility for what I am supposed to do.
• Self Control.  I will control my actions and words.
• Hard Work.  I take pride in being a hard worker.
• Self Respect.  I have self respect.
• Concern for Others.  I will show concern for all other people.
• Tolerance.  I am tolerant of others.
• Cooperation.  I will cooperate with those around me.
• Fairness.  I show fairness to all I come in contact with.
• Forgiveness.  I can forgive those who do me wrong.
• Courage.  I will be brave in facing life’s challenges.
• Self Knowledge.  I will pursue knowledge of myself.
