honesty, fairness, and respect for others. Students, teachers, and administrators share
responsibility for promoting a climate of integrity. Students affirm their commitment to the
values of Salesianum by reciting the Salesian Standard at the beginning of each school year:
Teachers will apply the Salesian Standard to their particular classrooms, assignments, and
course expectations. On all written assignments, students will write or type V+J at the top of
the page or test sheet (the abbreviation used by St. Francis de Sales for Vive Jesus, or Live
Jesus), which along with their name or signature will be regarded as a statement that they
abide by the Salesian Standard.
By reciting the pledge and by writing V+J on assignments, the student states that he will not
violate or has not violated any part of the Salesian Standard. Failure to recite the pledge
and/or include the written affirmation on an assignment does not relieve the student his
responsibility to abide by the Standard.
