Creating a community of belonging and inclusion starts with our shared expectations for that community. In K-5, we spend the first few days of school working together with students to develop shared “rules” for each grade. Inevitably the rules all have common themes and are all too many to remember, which makes them less useful day to day. This year we took the lead of our Preschool team and distilled all of these sets of rules into a simple, powerful way to capture our shared expectations for all of our Bixby community. We invite you to practice these with us at home and at school.
