Expectations and Policies
Classroom Expectations
Our classroom expectations focus on the idea of R.E.S.P.E.C.T. - In our classroom, we respect each other, ourselves, property, the environment, collaboration, and thoughts. In the beginning of the year, we spend time learning about and practicing these guiding principles. We refer back to them often throughout the year, and they help us build a strong classroom community.
