Behavior Expectations
The behavior of all students, school personnel and school visitors is expected to follow the SOAR model: Safety, Open-minded, Always Proactive, and Respect. Each classroom is expected to use the SOAR Expectations and to align rules and logical consequences.
Specific SOAR Expectations are posted throughout the building to outline what positive behavior looks like, sounds like and feels like in hallways, restrooms, the cafeteria and the gym.
