Carabao Pledge
I am respectful; I am responsible;
I am safe; I am prepared.
We are here to learn; therefore, I will do nothing to keep the teacher from teaching,
And anyone, myself included, from learning.
I will cooperate with all school personnel.
I will respect others, the environment, and myself.
By acting this way, I show that I am capable,
Connecting, and contributing.
