As a Divine Mercy Catholic Academy student, I will be honest, only take credit for my own work, and respect other people and their property.
 
What do we mean by being honest?
Being honest means to tell the truth, free of deceit and to be full of integrity

What do we mean by only taking credit for our own work?

  • Copying another student's homework assignment
What do we mean by respecting other people?
  • Understanding other's opinions
  • Treating others as you want to be treated
