🎉 Welcome to a New School Year! 

We’re so excited to kick off another year of learning, growth, and teamwork! Together—students, families, and teachers—we’re building a strong foundation for success. This year is full of exciting learning opportunities, engaging projects, and lots of fun along the way.

At the heart of everything we do are four core expectations that will guide our classroom community:

⭐ 1. Be Responsible

We support students as they learn how to take ownership of their education. Being responsible means:

• Keeping agendas up to date every day

• Completing all assignments neatly and accurately

• Turning in work on time

• Bringing all required supplies each day

• Returning permission slips and homework promptly

• Being ready to learn, all day, every day

🤝 2. Be Respectful

We’re growing not only as learners but also as thoughtful citizens. Being respectful means:

• Using kind and respectful words, actions, and choices

• Showing care for classmates, adults, and ourselves

• Taking care of books, supplies, and tools

• Acting appropriately in different settings

🛡️ 3. Be Safe

Creating a safe environment—physically and emotionally—is a top priority. Being safe means:

• Listening and following directions

• Learning how to respond to various situations

• Using words and actions that are safe and supportive

💪 4. Show Grit

Grit is all about pushing through challenges and staying motivated. We define grit as:

• Persistence to keep going, even when things get tough

• Passion for learning new things

• Purpose to grow and improve each day

We can’t wait to see what this year brings. Let’s make it our best year yet—together!
