Student Handbook

Fultonvale staff welcomes all returning students and extends a special welcome to all new students, including our new grade sevens and those who have recently moved to our area. We are all eager to share in the many varied activities that make our school community exciting. We encourage you to join us in adding to the pride that students past and present have in our school and community.

We hold high expectations for daily behaviour and for the quality of work done in every class. We expect nothing less than your personal best at all times. Respect for yourself and others, and a positive, cooperative attitude will encourage responsibility and accountability and will make our year together a productive one at Fultonvale.

The Student Agenda is a tool to help you to be successful. It is an excellent reference to be used on a daily basis. 

Fultonvale’s school motto is “Feel the Heat”.  HEAT stands for Heart, Excellence, Attitude and Teamwork.

Heart – Fultonvale is a community of learners who care about each other where everyone feels they belong and are safe.  Fultonvale students and staff care about themselves, they care for each other and they care about our school.

Excellence – We all strive for personal excellence.  We encourage everyone to do their best.

Attitude – A successful Fultonvale member is responsible for their learning and responsible for their behaviour.  The attitude of trying your best, even when things get difficult is an important skill.

Teamwork – The Fultonvale family believes very strongly that we achieve success when we are part of a team working together: students, staff, and parents.  This includes working together between home and school! 

No matter what you are involved in at Fultonvale, keep our school motto in mind, and Feel the H.E.A.T.!

Our environment is based on creating and sustaining relationships. We try and focus on the positive interactions, and we deal with negative misunderstandings through repairing relationships by not casting blame but that everyone has a responsibility for their own actions, thoughts and words. We promote communication, listening, understanding and forgiveness. All the while, we put ourselves in the other person's shoes. We repair relationships through listening, understanding, and also asking all to reflect upon how they can repair and make it up to the other person or persons. We are a family at Fultonvale where everyone's job is to keep themselves safe and each other safe.  Our other job is to learn and to help others learn.
