School Wide Expectations Every student has the right to learn and teachers have the right to teach! Follow directions and respond to a request. Be on time and prepared to learn. Be in your designated area. Be respectful and demonstrate kindness.

Standards of Classroom Behavior Be in Class on time prepared to work. Bring the needed materials to complete your work in the classroom. Respect everyone’s right to learn, and the teacher’s right to instruct. Respect all rights and property of others.

Student Expectations Behave In, Behave Out ●     Students will refrain from disrupting class to discuss why the warning has been issued. ●     Any student initiated discussion of warnings will happen after class when it can be discussed privately with the teacher. ●     Students who receive a fourth warning will remain in the classroom until the administrator arrives.  The administrator will assess the situation and then determine further action.

The Four Questions… The Four Questions help students focus on good behavior, demonstrate they know what behavior is expected, take responsibility when they are not doing what is expected, and determine what they should be doing instead. These questions are used to help students stay on track and be productively involved in their learning experience. 1: What are you doing? 2. What are you supposed to be doing? 3. Are you doing it? 4. What are you going to do about it?
