In order to prepare students for success in college and beyond, the Great Oaks Legacy Elementary School community is committed to the following values:
- I use my words and my smile to send warm, caring messages to others.
- I use my hands to help, not to hurt.
- I read each day at school, and at home.
- I write carefully to express my ideas in my journals and notebooks.
- I speak clearly and I use new words from my growing vocabulary.
- I show that I am eager to learn.
- I focus on my assigned work; I am not disruptive.
- I help my classmates without asking for anything in return.
- I say kind words to my teachers and do kind things for them.
- I excel in school; I don’t just “pass”.
- I strive to improve on my work each day.
- I keep my work area and my cubby neat and clean.
- I will try to fix a problem to make it better, EVEN if I’m not the one who messed it up.
- I treat others as I would like to be treated.
- I follow the behavior rules of my school/bus, EVEN when no one is watching.
- If I’m absent, I make up missed work.
- If I don’t understand my work, I keep trying until my teacher comes to help me.
- I try to learn new things each day.
