Palmer Trinity School

{ 6 } PORTR A IT OF A GR A DUATE Palmer Trinity School educates students to be: • Passionate Learners who pursue enlightenment and learning across disciplines with curiosity and determination. • Global Citizens who strive to recognize their universal humanity and appreciate their responsibility towards each other and the world. • Problem Solvers who work with others to find diplomatic resolutions to challenge and change. • Ethical Leaders who inspire others to work with purpose, clarity, and compassion. • Independent inkers who apply their critical thinking abilities to engage in discourse about complex intellectual and ethical problems. • Critical Listeners who listen to understand, not merely to respond. STATEMENT OF EX PECTATIONS At the heart of Palmer Trinity School is a culture defined by respect, balance, integrity, curiosity, leadership, as well as our commitment to the safety and health of students. All members of the community have an obligation to know and uphold the School's values and strive to embody them in word and deed. We therefore expect that all members of the community will: • Respect other people and their privacy and property, both within and beyond the School. • Treat all human beings with dignity, refraining from behavior that intimidates, insults, threatens, bullies, coerces, abuses, exploits, harasses, humiliates, or demeans, acting with tolerance, courtesy, and thoughtful regard. • Have an open mind and heart to the views and experiences of others, creating space for all to belong and thrive. • Support and promote a school climate that does not discriminate against any individual or group. • Use words constructively, avoiding gossip and other inappropriate or unproductive sharing of information. • Maintain high standards of honesty, avoiding deception, half-truths, and deliberately misleading words or behavior. • Exemplify principles of responsibility and fairness in daily life. • Observe safe behavior and report unsafe conditions or practices. • Cultivate caring and compassion, seeking to serve others, both within and beyond the School. Our School cultivates a school environment in which all members of the community feel valued and safe. Part of living our values includes every member's responsibility to support a safe school environment by refraining from harmful and unsafe behavior and reporting such behavior when observed. In addition, we prohibit all boundary crossing behavior between adults and students (as outlined in our Student/Adult Interaction and Communication Policy) and sexual misconduct (whether between students or adults and students). Adults are expected to identify and report suspicions of harassment, abuse, and sexual or other misconduct and will not engage in such behavior themselves. In addition, School employees are mandated reporters of suspected abuse, neglect, or abandonment as specified by Florida law. e School
