The expectations we have of our students will be attainable and appropriate for their different age groups, abilities and developmental levels.

I — I keep my hands to myself
Students will be taught that conflicts can be solved by using helpful words—not hurting hands. Actions that are aggressive and violent are unacceptable. A progressive discipline approach will be used to ensure that the consequences are appropriate in each situation.
C — Consequences are appropriate for my own actions
Our goal is to teach students to understand that they are responsible for their behaviour and capable of managing their own actions. Acceptable behaviour, problem-solving strategies, and anti-bullying procedures will be taught and practiced on an ongoing basis throughout the year.
