OUR CLASSROOM COMMUNITY
Respect Responsibility Resilience
We recognize that we are all unique.
We help our learning partners, friends and
fellow Sailfish remember our school rules.
We can walk away from a tough situation.
Fair does not mean same- it’s what is right
for you.
We are responsible for upholding the image of
our school, our classroom and
ourselves.
We have choices in all situations.
We recycle, reduce our waste and reuse
supplies.
We are all contributors in our classroom
community.
What’s a “Wahoo Family”?
Learning to making good choices! Students can choose to be an active participant in their education, or they can be inactive.
Respect and manners are expected! We are a family that cares and respects each other. Instead of “Class Rules” we have Class Manners!
We are a team! Through working together and helping one another, we can succeed!
Being responsible for their own education! I do not “give” them a grade, I simply do the math.
Wahoo Goals…
