At MMES:

• Classrooms are environments that are welcoming, safe, productive and organized.
• The students walk in the hallways in a quiet, orderly fashion, keeping hands to themselves, not disturbing other classes. The hallways are clean with decorated walls and are an extension of classrooms where student learning and consideration for a positive, safe, and caring learning environment is paramount.
• Assemblies are a celebration of student learning and accomplishments. They build school community and school spirit and are a display of attentive and respectful behaviour.
• The playground is a place where students are engaged in active play within a safe, caring and respectful environment. Students are respectful of rules and others.  They are dressed appropriately and exit and enter in an orderly fashion.
