  3. Recipe for Success • A shared “Recipe for Success” for Bert Lynn Middle School is built upon a balance of healthy ingredients, between school, home, and community.

  4. School Ingredients • Increased depth of learning, especially in the areas of reading and writing • Continued excellence in mathematics • GATE Activities • Implementation of a strong a academic support system to assist all students • Quality classroom instruction • Two-way Communication between school and home (www.bertlynn.com) (parentconnect.tusd.org) • Recreational opportunities (Clubs, noon-league activities, dances, etc.)

  5. Home Ingredients • Proactive Communication: Don’t wait to call when questions or concerns arise. • Parent Participation increases our school’s success: Share your talent, volunteer hours • Consistent Homework Practice: Same place, same time, Monday – Thursday • High, but realistic, learning expectations for both student and school

  6. Learning Community Ingredients • Establish communication between local businesses and school • Increased articulation between all grade levels K-12 • Provide funding and support for a safe and clean campus • Ongoing dialogue regarding standards and expectations

  7. SCHOOL EXPECTATIONS Students come to school to learn. Teachers come to school to teach. Anything that keeps these things from happening becomes my problem. *(Classroom call slips)

  8. Fairness If you feel you are being treated unfairly Comply with any reasonable request. Seek another opinion from another adult

  9. LUNCH PASSES • For the safety of your child, all students will remain on campus for lunch. • We do not issue permanent student lunch passes. • Please do not write “lunch notes” for your child. • Students may not “order-in” food. • Drop-off table (No deliveries to class)

  10. ELECTRONIC SIGNALING DEVICES • Revised State Law authorizes the possession of cell phones or pagers provided that these devices do not disrupt the educational program or school activity. Cell phones and pagers must be turned off during class time and at any other time directed by a district employee. If a disruption were to occur, the employee may direct the student to turn off the device and/or confiscate the devise until the end of the class period, school day, or activity.

  11. ACCIDENTS When accidents occur at school, they must be reported immediately to the adult in charge. School personnel may administer first aid. In case of serious injury, the parents will be contacted.

  12. BICYCLE SKATEBOARD & ROLLERBLADE POLICY Students are responsible for the security of their bicycle, skateboard and/or roller blades Bicycles must be walked on campus to the bicycle racks and locked individually and NOT to another student’s bike. Skateboards and rollerblades must be walked onto the campus and kept in the designated area during school hours.

  13. HELMETS Beginning January 1, 2003, California's helmet law will be undergoing a change.

  25. Resolving Student Conflict Although Bert Lynn experiences few behavioral issues we recognize a developmental need to provide effective strategies for managing situations involving bullying, teasing, and anger. Students are reminded to seek adult assistance before a situation “gets out of hand.” Frequently the following four-step process breaks the victim cycle, and continued conflict is avoided.
