Ranger Code of Honor
I am…
R-Respectful of Others
We say yes ma’am and no ma’am, yes sir and no sir, we say please and thank you
We make eye contact
We know the adults in the building and greet them by name
We respect each other’s opinions and are good sports
We do not stare at someone who is being corrected
A-Actively Engaged in my Learning
We are organized, efficient, and on task
We complete our classwork and homework on time
N-Nice to Everyone
We are grateful for the things we receive and we do not insult the gift or the giver
When you receive something, a "thank you" is expected
Treat others the way you want to be treated
We do not bully. If you are being bullied, tell an adult
We are always positive

We do our best, not just to get a reward…and we NEVER ask for a reward.
E-Expecting Great Things for Myself and a
We are always willing to give our best at WCE

We walk down the hall in a straight, quiet line
