Lancer Pride Expectations
You Just Can’t Hide That Lancer Pride! Achieve Academically
Promote a Positive Attitude
Initiate Action
It is the goal of all members of the LUMS community to maintain a safe and effective learning environment. LUMS has a proactive team-based framework where emphasis is placed on prevention of problem behavior, development of prosocial skills, and use of data-informed problem solving. Our Lancer Pride Expectations promote our core values of respect, responsibility, and safety, and our commitment to being firm, fair and consistent. Part of building our school community is to help all members learn how to be proud Lancers. To help in this goal we have three Lancer Pride Expectations that are listed above.
