Janney Elementary School

Current Students

SCHOOL PLEDGE

Responsibility: I am responsible for my own actions.

I will always come to school prepared.

I will arrive at school each day on time at 8:35. (After 8:45, a student is marked as tardy.)

I will enter the school in an orderly fashion, walk in the hallways, stay to the right on the stairways and halls, and speak in an indoor voice.

I will keep my school's bathrooms neat by throwing away trash, flushing the toilet, and turning off the water after I wash my hands.

I will help keep my school clean by throwing away trash.

I will make lunch pleasant by using good table manners, speaking in my restaurant voice, cleaning up my area, and taking home uneaten food.

Respect: I will show respect for Janney, others, and myself.

I will always use appropriate language and speak politely to adults and other children by using words like good morning, please, thank you, and excuse me.

I will treat others as I want to be treated, by being kind and friendly, and by welcoming others to play.

I will never hit or hurt someone intentionally.

I will respect the property of others.

I will follow instructions and cooperate with all the adults at Janney in the classrooms, in the hallways, in the lunchroom, during assemblies, and on the playground.

Safety: I will promote a safe school environment.

I will play appropriately on the playground by staying in my assigned area.

I understand that the balls stay on the blacktop to play basketball, four squares, and the circle game, but not wall ball.

I will use the playground equipment appropriately, and I will not play contact sports.

I will inform an adult or peer mediator whenever there is a problem at Janney.

I will follow proper procedures during fire and other emergency drills.

I will walk with a buddy in school.

As a student at Janney Elementary School, my family and I have read and agree to the pledge. The consequences for not being responsible may include time out, peer mediation, loss of playground privileges for a period of time, community service, completion of a behavior form or in the case of intentionally injuring another student or property, possible suspension. We understand the expected behaviors and the possible consequences for inappropriate behavior at school. We want Janney to be a place where we respect each other, take responsibility for our actions, and where we are safe.
