• Ensure a Safe Community

• Come Prepared to Learn

• Take Responsibility for Your Actions

Key Expectations

• Be Ready: Arrive on time with all your materials.

• Be Respectful: Listen silently when I or a classmate is speaking. Do not interrupt. Treat everyone with dignity.

• Be Responsible: Follow directions the first time and take ownership of your learning and actions.

Zero-Tolerance Policy on Bullying

Our classroom is a safe space. This is non-negotiable.

Every student has the right to learn without fear. Therefore, we have a strict zero-tolerance policy for bullying of any kind (verbal, social, physical, or online).

• Consequences: There are no warnings for bullying. Any instance will result in an immediate parent/guardian conference/contact and a report to school administration.

• Be an Upstander: If you see something, say something. Report any bullying, threats, or dangerous behavior to me or another trusted adult. We must all work together to keep our community safe and supportive.
