About School District: THE VISIONARY WAY-Attend all classes every day except in situations of illness or family emergency.To be early is on time, to be on time is late and to be late is unacceptable. Plan to arrive early to school, classes, meetings and events prepared and ready to work.Follow the uniform policy everyday. (see Uniform Policy).Eating and drinking is only allowed in designated areas. No gum is allowed at any time in the building.Homework will be assigned and must be completed every night. Contact a classmate or teacher if there are questions about assignments.Students will be required to respond to teachers’ questions, even if a student does not volunteer. We will refer to this practice as “cold calling.”The classroom is a sacred space. Students will not be allowed to leave class. Students may use the bathroom only during lunch and transition times throughout the day.Bathroom doors must remain open at all times (however privacy will be maintained).Respect all books and other supplies distributed by the school. All books and supplies should be stored in a safe, secure location and not abandoned in classrooms, the hallway, multi-purpose room, etc. Parents and students are financially responsible for all lost/destroyed books and supplies.Respect all school property and the surrounding community. Students will do so by disposing of all litter around them and/or contacting staff to get the right materials to clean the area appropriately. In addition, students will not tag, mark up or write on any items or locations they do not own.All school decorations, signs, displays of student work and other postings around the building must be respected. Items should not be touched or damaged in anyway.Speak softly and considerately in hallways and classrooms. Move swiftly, quietly, and independently during transition times between classes. Always stay to the right when walking in the hallways or stairwells.Students should practice using Standard English throughout the school day and/or during school sponsored events. Foul and/or degrading language should be avoided at all times.Show equal respect to all adult personnel, parents and/or visitors who are in the school.Greet all visitors with a firm handshake (or slight bow) and words of welcome when possible.Make a conscious personal effort to contribute to a positive and supportive school community.Students will adhere to SSSH. They will speak up, sit up, stand up and/or hush up when signaled.Students will be expected to use their voice effectively and appropriately. Students must consider the 3Rs – rights, respect and responsibility and TPM – time, place and manner.Conflicts and disagreements are a natural part of life. All students will learn to deal with issues in a positive, effective manner. Physical, verbal, emotional and/or cyber acts of violence, harassment and/or threats must be avoided at all times.Accept personal responsibility for your own negative behavior. Accept consequences and take active steps to rectify destructive situations. Such action is looked upon favorably and is taken into consideration when consequences are determined.
