About this resource
What's inside this resource
Product description
From the author
My School Pledge provides 13 prewritten statements about classroom effort, kindness, honesty and belonging. Students read the pledge, sign their name and add a thumbprint; they do not compose a new pledge on this page.
Use it during a first-week classroom discussion or revisit it when reviewing expectations. Prepare an ink pad for the thumbprint box. The PDF contains one pledge worksheet and one license page.

Learning objectives
Recite and commit to a set of classroom behavior expectations covering effort, kindness, honesty and perseverance.

Teaching tips
Read the pledge aloud together as a class before students sign, since the language is written in first person ("I will...").
Have an ink pad ready for the thumbprint line so students can complete the personalization step.
Consider displaying signed pledges together on a classroom board as a shared back-to-school commitment.
Skills covered
Community/character commitment — students read and personally commit to 13 classroom behavior expectations covering readiness, effort, kindness, honesty, inclusion and perseverance.
Personalizing a class agreement — students sign their name and add a thumbprint to make the pledge a personal keepsake.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Is the pledge meant to be recited, signed, or both?
Both -- the page presents the pledge as a read-and-commit statement, then closes with "This is my promise," a signature line and a thumbprint space so each student can personalize their own copy.
