Code of Conduct

blackboard

We have readopted the 1923 Washington school motto "CHARACTER, COURTESY, AND CULTURE," and written a code of conduct for all students to follow. By working together, we can continue to make our school a safe place that allows students to develop their gifts and talents to the fullest.

CHARACTER I will do my best to demonstrate good character by:

Helping all students feel Washington GT is a friendly place.
Speaking positively to and of other students and teachers.
Discussing differences of opinion or conflicts.
Using good judgement in making choices.
Having the courage to do the right thing even when others don't.
Striving to learn.
Having the perseverance to try again and never give up.
Having the self-discipline to work hard and be in control of my words and actions.
Showing responsibility regarding my classwork and behavior.
Displaying good sportsmanship.
Refraining from bringing to school items or weapons that can harm.

COURTESY I will do my best to demonstrate courtesy by:

Treating others with kindness, as you would like to be treated.
Demonstrating integrity by being truthful and honest.
Attending class on time.
Following individual classroom rules.
Making sure that I am quiet enough to allow others to learn.
Using appropriate manners in the cafeteria.
Moving quietly and safely in the halls and stairwells of the building.
Observing all fire drills, tornado drills, and safety rules carefully.
Refraining from bringing toys or cards, to trade or sell, and materials that are inappropriate for school use.

CULTURE I will do my best to demonstrate cultural respect by:

Respecting myself, others and authority.
Recognizing the strengths and weaknesses in myself and others.
Working to understand differences.
Celebrating diversity and uniqueness.
Understanding that all people have value as human beings.
