​How can we demonstrate PRIDE in the Hallways and Bathrooms?

​💪 Perseverance in the Hallways and Bathrooms

• ​Walk to each destination with purpose

• Travel on the fastest route to your next location

• Enter the classroom when you arrive

​Turn and Talk

​Why do you think "perseverance" applies to how we move through hallways? How does staying focused on your destination help the whole school community?

Multiple Choice

Situation: You're walking to your next class when you see your friend in the hallway. They want to chat about weekend plans, but you notice you only have 1 minute before class starts.

• Stop and chat - friendship is important and you can be a little late

• Politely say you'll catch up later and continue to class

• Walk slowly while talking so you can continue the conversation

🤝 Respect in the Hallways and Bathrooms

• ​Maintain school property

• Respect classes in session by walking quietly

• Keep restroom clean

• Honor privacy

Something to Consider

​Our hallways and bathrooms are shared by everyone in our school community. How we treat these spaces and behave in them affects hundreds of people every day.

Multiple Choice

Situation: You're walking past classrooms during 3rd block when you hear a teacher teaching a lesson to another class. Your friends are being loud and making jokes in the hallway.

• Signal to your friends to lower their voices and walk quietly

• Join in with your friends - it's just harmless fun

• Yell at your friends to be quiet

​Turn and Talk

​⚖️ Integrity in the Hallways and Bathrooms

• ​Use bathroom during appropriate times

• Wash your hands

• Keep belongings in your locked locker

• Travel the hallways with a destination pass

​Integrity means doing the right thing even when no one is watching. How do these expectations help build trust between students, teachers, and staff?

Multiple Choice

Situation: You really need to use the bathroom, but class started 10 minutes ago. You know some students leave class just to wander the halls, but you have a genuine need.

• Wait until class ends, even if it means you'll be uncomfortable

• Just leave - why should you have to ask your teacher for permission for basic needs?

• Quietly ask your teacher for a pass and go directly there and back

​Turn and Talk

​🎯 Dependability in the Hallways and Bathrooms

When we're dependable, others can count on us. How do these behaviors show that you're someone your classmates and teachers can rely on?

• ​Return to class quickly and quietly

• Share bathroom supplies when necessary

Multiple Choice

Situation: You're in the bathroom and notice there's no toilet paper in one of the stalls. You see there's extra toilet paper in your stall, and you hear someone enter the empty stall.

• It's not your problem - they should have checked before entering the stall

• Offer to share some toilet paper with them

• Quickly finish and leave before they ask for help

​Turn and Talk

​❤️ Empathy in the Hallways and Bathrooms

• ​Be mindful of public spaces and facilities

• Help maintain clean hallways and bathrooms

• Tell an adult if custodial staff is needed

​Empathy means understanding how our actions affect others. Consider the custodial staff, other students, teachers, and visitors. How do our choices in hallways and bathrooms impact their experience?

Multiple Choice

Situation: You notice someone accidentally dropped their water bottle, and now there's a puddle in the hallway. Students are walking around it, but someone could slip and get hurt.

• Walk around it like everyone else, you didn't make the mess

• Try to clean it yourself with your jacket

• Let a teacher or custodian know about the spill so it can be cleaned safely

Why might bathroom and hallway behavior seem "small" but actually be very important?
