Reevis Mountain School's Integrity Agreement

I, ___________________________________, agree to share my grievances with those whom they concern.

  1. If I have an emotionally charged grievance, I will write it down on paper to organize my thoughts so my points will be direct, honest, and easily understood.
  2. I will keep in mind that we are all on the same team here. I agree to look for solutions, not problems.
  3. I will not deliver my grievance as an attack, but rather as an effort to gain understanding and a better line of communication, attempting to see it from the other’s point of view.
  4. I pledge myself to be a love giver, not a fault finder. I will strive to be aware of my intent and speak only truth as I understand it to be.
  5. I will be ready to expand my truth when a better idea presents itself.
  6. If I am presented with a grievance, I will respectfully listen to what is being said.
  7. I will not defend myself. I will consider what is being said as a suggestion for improvement.
  8. I will explain, but not defend, my position. I will be honest, I will not blame, I will not argue. I will seek understandings and solutions.
  9. I understand that honesty solves most problems and anything less creates them.
