Student Township Meeting Mid-Year Review of Expectations

WOO HOO!!!!! WAY TO GO!!!!! YOU ROCK!!!!

Be Safe Be Responsible Be Respectful

Rules and procedures are put into place to create order and structure, which help to keep everyone in our school family safe!

Strive to be someone that others can count on! Be a good role model by following all the rules and expectations! If you have done something that you should not have done, then own up to it. Remember - We ALL make mistakes! Be accountable to yourself and to others!

Use kind words when talking to others, Take care of things that you use and be polite to everyone you meet! Remember – In order to GET respect, you must GIVE respect!

As yourself these three questions before you speak: Is it kind? Is it true? Is it helpful? If you cannot say “yes” to each of these questions, then you probably shouldn’t say it!

 I make a COMMITMENT to take a stand against bullying.  I will treat others with RESPECT and KINDNESS  I will have COMPASSION to not bully and the COURAGE to not be a bystander  It is my RESPONSIBILIITY to help others being bullied and to report bullying

Work with others to make things run smoothly. Share items in your classroom and work as a team! Look for ways to be helpful to others.

 The “Changing of Colors” is meant to help all students self monitor their own behavior.  The colors are consistent in all of the classrooms, Kindergarten through 5 th Grade.  Students are rewarded for Positive Behavior! So try to stay on GREEN!  We realize that everyone has a bad day now and then, so we do allow for a certain amount of BLUE days, but you have to learn from those BLUE days and make changes to the choices you are making!
