WHAT IS PRIDE?
PRIDE is the system we will use in our classroom to hold students accountable for their behavior. I hope that the PRIDE system will also give my students a better idea of how their actions influence their achievement academically and socially. The vision of PRIDE helped me shape our Class Norms and the expectations I have for my students. Developing these traits will help my students be successful in their future, wherever it may take them.
