  • Has integrity and does the right thing
  • Takes responsibility for their own actions
  • Treats others kindly and uses kind words

Thank you to all of The Waterfront School students, staff and community who collaborated to create, who a Waterfront student is. We will continue to set these high expectations for all of our students. We believe that every student can achieve this and can be successful.
