At Walnut Street Elementary School, we expect our “Wildcats to roar with pride when they are: Respectful, Responsible, & Safe.”  Through a collaborative team process, our staff has determined that respect, responsibility, and safety are priorities at Walnut Street Elementary School.  Our Positive Behavior Support In Schools initiative, will provide time for teachers to teach expectations in each area of the building and positively recognize students daily for meeting those expectations.  Below you find the expectations for students at Walnut Street Elementary School.  Please feel free to contact the main office if you should have any questions.

Students are specifically requested not to bring to school large sums of money, expensive jewelry, or toys.  The school can assume no responsibility in the event of their loss, damage or theft. TRADING CARDS, ELECTRONIC GAMES, IPADS, IPODS, AND CELL PHONES often interfere with the school’s ability to educate, and they are not permitted  while on school grounds unless there is an approved reason for such devices.  Cell phones, Apple watches, and other personal electronic items must be turned off and remain in the student's backpack at all times.  Student shall not have their cell phones out in school, on the bus, or within the school after school hours (i.e. Y-Kids).  

Items brought into school, such as bookbags, lunch boxes, jackets, and school supplies should be labeled with your child's name and classroom number. If an item becomes misplaced, this will help our staff members to ensure that all personal belongings are returned to the rightful owner.

Se solicita específicamente a los estudiantes que no traigan a la escuela grandes sumas de dinero, joyas caras o juguetes. La escuela no puede asumir ninguna responsabilidad en caso de pérdida, daño o robo. LAS TARJETAS COLECCIONABLES, JUEGOS ELECTRÓNICOS, IPADS, IPODS Y TELÉFONOS CELULARES a menudo interfieren con la capacidad de la escuela para educar, y no se les permite salir mientras se encuentran en los terrenos de la escuela a menos que lo apruebe el maestro de la clase. 

Los artículos que se traen a la escuela, como mochilas, loncheras, chaquetas y útiles escolares, deben estar etiquetados con el nombre y el número de salón de su hijo. Si un artículo se pierde, esto ayudará a los miembros de nuestro personal a garantizar que todas las pertenencias personales se devuelvan al propietario legítimo.
