The Hornet Way

Building Citizenship through the Hornet Way

Our district's behavior policy is the "Hornet Way." The Hornet Way is based on five core values: Respect, Honesty, Kindness, Responsibility, & Fairness. We expect that students, parents and community members model the traits of the Hornet Way in all that they do, both within and beyond our classroom walls. 

At Big Lake Schools, everyone belongs in our school community. To us, being a part of our community means following the Hornet Way and displaying those traits every day. From our youngest learners to our graduating seniors, the Hornet Way is a path to building citizens that are responsible, respectful, fair, honest and kind in everything they do.
