For the month of May our school will emphasize the character trait of Honesty/ Integrity.

The definition of Honesty is: Being truthful in what I say and do.

Some characteristics of Honesty include:

I WILL...

*Tell the truth.

* Play by the rules.

* Not exaggerate the facts.

* Admit when I am wrong.

*Not take things that don’t belong to me.

We would love to see our students in action demonstrating our character trait! Please e-mail any pictures of your children to Mrs. Niaves (aniaves@hemetusd.org) demonstrating Honesty in school, around the house or the community so that we can showcase their efforts!

There are four steps to apologizing. The first step begins with you.

1. Realize you did something wrong.

2. Sincerely apologize.

3. Explain yourself.

4. Make future plans.
