Sabercats 4B's Code of Conduct

At Silver Oak Elementary School, we believe in fostering a positive and supportive learning environment where every student feels valued and respected. Our school community is built on a foundation of universal rules known as the 4B's:

Be Prepared: Come to school on time, ready to learn with all necessary materials.
Be Respectful: Treat others with kindness, courtesy, and consideration.
Be Responsible: Take ownership of your actions and make good choices.
Be Safe: Follow safety rules and guidelines to ensure a secure learning environment.

The 4B's are more than just rules; they are the core values that define a proud Sabercat student. These values should be demonstrated at all times, whether you're in the classroom, on the playground, at home, or in the community.

By embracing the 4B's, we create a school culture where everyone feels safe, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential.
