Civility at School

Take pride in your school by being a considerate and helpful individual. Practice the following and create a successful experience for you, your Principal, teachers, classmates and everyone else involved.

1. Begin your school day with a nourishing breakfast that energizes your body and mind.

2. Save time and prevent a 'morning rush'; prepare for your school days at night:

• Choose the clothes you want to wear and examine them for needed repairs
• Gather together all homework and related materials
• Get plenty of sleep (8 hours or more)

3. Respect and follow the rules of your school. They're in place to make your learning environment safe and pleasant.

4. Take pride in your school environment which includes hallways, offices, classrooms, the Clinic, Cafeteria, Library, Gym, surrounding grounds and even school buses. Do your part to keep these and other public areas neat and clean.

5. Practice good study habits and be responsible for all assigned work.

6. Encourage civil actions through your own behavior.

7. Everyone has something of value to share so listen to the words of others, especially those in authority.

8. Be contagious; set a good example of school spirit with your friends and anyone else within reach.

9. Get excited about learning new stuff. Applaud yourself for what you've added to your brain and to your spirit. Then share what you know with others so you can all get excited, smarter, and more civil together.

Practice Civility every day through acts of kindness and respect like the ones displayed here.

Do your part to help spread Civility throughout your school's community.

Get permission to display these tips but most of all, follow them.
