=Our Code of Cooperation (Behavior Expectations and Responsibilities):=

** 11. I will report any problems to a teacher immediately, including any knowledge I have of others behaving in ways that violate the trust that has been given to us. **
== As you honor these responsibilities, you earn trust from your teachers. When you are a trusted digital citizen, you earn the privilege of using our wonderful technology tools. If you do not fulfill your responsibilities, trust will be broken. You will lose your privileges and there will be consequences. ==
