Behavior Expectations

Laura Huff Grade 3 RTI Room 302

The Positive Behavior System is our behavior management program at Blythe Academy of Languages. It is an approach to recognizing and rewarding positive, desirable behaviors.

School Expectations:

1. Respect Yourself

2. Respect Others

3. Respect Our School

Every day, students begin with a clean slate.

Our universal code of conduct:

On my honor I will show others the respect I would like in return. My behavior will be a good example to follow. I will do my best each day and help others when I can. I promise to obey the Blythe Academy rules. I will respect myself, respect others, and respect my school.

Posted in every classroom, this pledge is recited by students each morning during our news show.
