School Priorities

Safety (both physical & emotional)

Learning

Fun

Physical Safety “Students are expected to walk in an orderly

fashion in the hall. Shoving, running, and disorderly conduct are not appropriate and will result in disciplinary action.” (Agenda, Page 10)

Just as you learned in kindergarten – KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF. Do not push, pull, or hit another student Do not grab/take other’s food, agenda, or

personal belongings

Physical Safety They are called ACCIDENTS for a

reason.

When you are “goofing” around, there is a good chance of someone getting hurt.

Please conduct yourself in a manner that will allow you and others to learn while being safe.

Emotional Safety

“I was just joking/messing around.”

“He/she knows I am just joking/messing around.”

I know better…

Ms. McKean knows better…

You know better.

Doing What is Right

Character If you stop what you are “doing”

when you see an adult… you know you were not conducting yourself properly.

It is never okay to say something mean-spirited to another person.

“Expect Respect” – Give Respect!

Always Remember

Please conduct yourselves in a manner that will allow you and others to learn while being safe.
