ASPIRATIONS

Don't Forget....
Mission Statement
As a member of Ballardville 2015-2016, we recognize that each student in ASPIRE is unique and different in his or her own way. We promise to:
- · help each other learn and excel as a group in class;
- · be kind, respectful, and responsible to our teacher, each other, our classroom, and ourselves;
- · have a positive attitude, follow the Golden Rule, and make sure everyone feels like they fit in;
- · put aside our differences and cooperate with each other respectfully;
- · be others-focused and bucket-fillers;
- · show kindness in and out of the classroom and treat others with care.
We expect our teacher to challenge us in a way that will help each of us excel in our learning. We like to be challenged and to think outside the box.
Our personal expectations are to be respectful and responsible. We will encourage others to be helpful and not hurtful. We will pull each other up when in need, and will help each other improve.
