16. Mrs. Fanning’s Response to Dress Code Violations What I will do: If I believe any part of your outfit violates the Onslow County Public Schools’ dress code, I will send you to the office. My ultimate goal is for you NOT to get in trouble later on in the day.

18. Organized Behavior Helps You Operate In Life: Walk on the right side of the hallway during transitions in a single file line, quiet and 3 blocks away. It keeps the flows of traffic moving.

21. Keep Calm…. You will have TWO opportunities to use the restroom without having to use your PBIS restroom pass. During AA During Lunch

22. Remember …. Mrs. Fanning follows the rules of the school. I have a job to do, and part of that job involves making sure you follow the rules of the school. If I do not do my job, then I do not get paid. I like to EAT and LIVE INDOORS, so I will do my job. When you get in trouble, I get in trouble. My goal is to make sure that none of us get in trouble and that we have a happy school day.
