Rules to Live by

Parkview Rules to Live By 2021-2022

Our Philosophy:

At Parkview Elementary School, we believe that all children are responsible for their own behaviour. This sense of responsibility is an educational process and requires on-going cooperative links between the school, home, community, and student. While working within the context of our “Rules to Live By” we want to ensure the safety, security, and well-being of all our participants to favour growth and learning. Our goal is to assist in the process of creating well-rounded citizens who foster life-long learning. 

Respect of Self

Well-being, perseverance, open mindedness, life-long learning, trying your best

Respect of Others

Cooperation, collaboration, helping & encouraging others, sportsmanship, citizenship, kindness

Respecting the Environment

Clean-up, use equipment appropriately & safely, respect property

Follow-up:

If a student fails to comply with the “Rules to Live By”, appropriate follow-ups, consequences, and restorative practices will be set in place based on the school team’s decision or that of the staff assistant/principal. Children will be given the opportunity to learn from their mistakes and will be supported in doing so.
