Cunningham STAR Expectations

STAR EXPECTATIONS!

At Dr. Walter Cunningham School For Excellence, we use a set of expectations in our building, on the playground, on the bus, and when our students represent our school in the community. The expectations are posted throughout our school. Students are taught the STAR PRIDE expectations during “STAR Academy” at the beginning of the year, after winter break and whenever necessary.  This year we are transitioning from STAR expectations to PRIDE expectations as we are teaching our students what it means to show pride and excellence in all that you do.

STAR PRIDE expectations are:

Safe

Trustworthy

A+ Attitude

Respect

Patience

Respect

Integrity

Determination

Excellence
