PBIS: Being Respectful
One rule we have at Edison is to show Respect. Being respectful helps everyone feel welcome and safe. When we act respectfully, we listen carefully to each other, help each other, and try to understand how someone else feels. When we speak respectfully we use friendly words, say please and thank you, and I’m sorry. And most importantly we DO NOT call other people names. This week, think about how you can act and speak in a respectful way in the classroom, on the playground, in the bathroom, in hallways, and in the cafeteria.
