♥ At the start of the year, after winter break, and again after spring break, students participate in Expectation Stations.

♥ During Expectation Stations, students and their teachers rotate to different stations to learn/review different school expectations (e.g., playground rules, cafeteria rules, and procedures, etc.)

♥ One of the stations at the start of the year is the “Hands & Words” station. Students learn and review the meaning of the Purple Hands Pledge®, the significance of the logo, and start the process of taking the pledge (followed up in their classrooms).

♥ If needed, the “Hands & Words” station will be present at Expectation Stations after winter and spring break.

♥ Students at Grandhaven Elementary attend an all-school assembly once a month where they stand for the Pledge of Allegiance and follow with the Purple Hands Pledge®

♥ Classroom teachers are expected to say the Pledge of Allegiance in class at least once a week, followed by the Purple Hands Pledge®
