Verbal abuse and physical abuse are not acceptable. Students should "Be Respectful," "Be Responsible," and "Be Ready To Learn."

There will be quarterly assemblies scheduled throughout the year for all grade levels, in which students will receive recognition for curricular as well as co-curricular accomplishments.
