We pledge to accept responsibility for children
And to treat them with respect
To accept only their best efforts
To be a model of tolerance and patience

We pledge our support to parents
To remember that they are their child's first and best teacher
To be a willing participant in the education of all children
To look for the uniqueness of every child
To never give up on any child
To hold high expectations for all children

We pledge our assurance to other educators
To send you well prepared students
To support you as colleagues
To always carry a positive message in our conversations about children

We pledge our commitment to the community
To treat children with caring concern regardless of race, color, gender, or creed
