Character: The Wakefield Courtesies
At the core of every Wakefield student is a deep understanding of what it means to be a contributing member of the community who treats others with the highest standards of kindness and respect. We express this civility by respecting ourselves, respecting others, respecting our school, and respecting our community at large.The Wakefield Courtesies serve as a reminder of this attitude.
Respecting
Others
- We courteously greet others during the course of the day, and we respect the space and dialog of others, politely walking around them when not taking part in their conversations.
- We rise for an adult entering the classroom and respectfully stand until instructed.
- We hold the door for each other, visitors, and anyone needing help.
- We knock before entering a room, showing respect for others’ privacy.
Respecting Our
School
- We display pride in our appearance and dress in accordance to both the dress code and its spirit
- We observe manners of etiquette when dining, or talking, as we are representing our school to the community
- We respect all school members and facilities by treating possessions with care and borrowing only with permission
- We are humble in success and gracious in defeat, for we know that on another day roles may well be reversed
