Students at Nette Shultz Elementary School grow both in their academic learning and in their character and leadership skills. We discuss The Mustang Way frequently with students, which refers to the habits that will help them be successful not only in school, but in life. These are examples of Mustang Way behaviors children are expected to demonstrate at school. To help children be successful, parents should reinforce these behaviors outside of school.
Mustangs are honest, no matter the circumstances.
Mustangs show politeness and respect to all adults and peers. Always respond when spoken to with eye contact.
Mustangs use good manners at all times to show kindness, thoughtfulness, and respect. Words and phrases like "please," "thank you," "you're welcome," and "excuse me" should be practiced daily.
Mustangs show courtesy and kindness by remaining quiet in hallways, grade level pods, restrooms, and other common areas in the school while learning is taking place.
Mustangs are always looking for ways to help and serve others.
Mustangs listen with their ears and with their body to give their full attention and respect to the person who is speaking.
Mustangs follow the rules in their classroom and in all parts of our school.
Mustangs give genuine compliments and affirmations to teachers and their fellow students. If you are thinking something kind about someone else, tell them!
