Rules and Behavior Expectations

I understand that I have nobody else to blame for my behavior but myself. I will take
responsibility for my actions without blaming others or using distractions to avoid being held
accountable. I will accept my consequences and learn from my mistakes.

I will be respectful to others by treating them the way I know every human being deserves to be
treated. I will speak appropriately to others. I will respect the property, privacy, and feelings of
others.

I will be responsible by completing assignments on time and working at grade level or above. I
recognize that the quality and accuracy of my work is how I earn my grade.

I will follow the rules of the classroom, and I will do what is expected of me. I will avoid noncompliant behaviors such as arguing, complaining, or sulking.
