Our Classroom Expectations!
Our behavior matrix consists of three main sections:
1. Be Safe
2. Be Kind
3. Be Responsible
We strive to provide our expectations on a positive note, telling our students what we want to see rather than what we don't want. Our hope is that families will implement these expectations at home to have consistency between home and school.
