What is the Comet Way?

The Comet Way
What does it look like?
At Home

At Riverview, we believe that students shine brightest when they feel safe, supported, and respected. The Comet Way is our school-wide positive behavioral framework that helps guide students in making good choices, building strong relationships, and creating a learning environment where everyone can succeed.

Just like a comet leaves a bright trail, our students leave a positive impact when they live out The Comet Way each day.

What is the Comet Way?

The Comet Way is built around three simple, consistent expectations that apply to all students, in all settings:

Our Core Values

  • Students show respect by:

    • Treating others with kindness, empathy, and compassion
    • Using appropriate language and tone
    • Respecting personal space, privacy, and belongings
    • Being an upstander and doing what’s right, even when it’s hard

  • Students show responsibility by:

    • Arriving prepared and ready to learn
    • Using time wisely and completing work to the best of their ability
    • Following routines and directions
    • Taking care of personal items and shared spaces

  • Students stay safe by:

    • Following adult directions
    • Using materials, furniture, and equipment appropriately
    • Keeping hands, feet, and objects to themselves
    • Making choices that protect themselves and others
