What is Falcon Five?

At Salisbury Middle School, we believe in building a positive, inclusive, and respectful school culture. The Falcon Five represents the core values we teach, model, and reinforce every day:

🦅 Falcon Five Expectations

1. Respect – Treat yourself, others, and property with kindness and care.

2. Focused – Stay attentive and engaged in learning and school activities.

3. Responsible – Own your actions, follow through on commitments, and make good choices.

4. Empathetic – Understand and consider the feelings of others.

5. Resilient – Keep going, even when things are tough. Learn from mistakes and bounce back stronger.

🎯 Why It Matters

The Falcon Five promotes positive behavior, strengthens school relationships, and helps students develop life-ready social and emotional skills. These expectations are part of our schoolwide PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) framework.
