SCHOOL PLEDGE

The School Pledge is a conduct guideline for all Kinnikinnick School District employees and students.

I pledge to do my best:

1. To be honest: to be honest is to be real, genuine, and sincere. An honest person always tells the truth.
2. To be self-disciplined: to be self-disciplined is to exhibit personal mastery and control over oneself. A self-disciplined person is able to control his/her temper, appetite, passion, and impulses.
3. To be responsible: to be responsible is to be accountable for ones conduct and obligations. A responsible person is able to choose between right and wrong.
4. To be respectful: to be respectful is to be considerate of yourself, others and those in positions of authority. A respectful person follows the Golden Rule.
5. To persevere: to persevere means to stay on course. A person who perseveres stays focused on his/her goal, works hard, and never gives up. Dedication + Effort = Results.
6. To be compassionate: to be compassionate is to be aware of and understand another persons distress. A compassionate person demonstrates sympathy and offers to help.
7. To be a leader: to be a leader is to make the right decisions based on sound ethical principles. A leader leads by example, sets and models the standard, and is powered by a strong personal vision and character.

Make-up Work:

It is the responsibility of the student to find out from the teacher what work needs to be made up. The same amount of time will be granted for make-up work as the amount of time of the excused absence, up to a maximum of one week (five attendance days), except for tests and assignments announced prior to the absence, which are to be completed on the day the student returns to school. The time allowed for make-up work for absences of more than one week will be established by each individual teacher.
