Primary teachers: I appreciate your commitment at the meeting yesterday. I believe that we have a good thing going here. Let’s start as a whole primary school on our essential agreements to hallway walking. I will introduce these at the assembly.

1. Respect others.
2. Be safe.
3. Set yourself up to be ready to learn.
