- I will come to school on time and be prepared to do my best.
- I will follow the rules, and be kind, thoughtful, and cooperative.
- I will respect myself and the rights of others.
- I will take responsibility for my own behavior.
- I will set study time aside at home every day to complete homework.
- I will give school communications to my parents and return items in a timely manner.
