Welcome class of 2017 “Leading The Journey Through Middle School”
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 11) • 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
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.
Please conduct yourselves in a manner that will allow you and others to learn while being safe. Always Remember
Why are we here? TO LEARN
Everyone Has Talents • What is your talent?
Learning Our job as teachers is to get you started!
Some Quick Rules Refreshers • How to Avoid a Discipline Referral: “If you should have a strong disagreement during a class, follow the teacher’s direction, but arrange to speak with him or her privately after class.” (page 10)
Some Quick Rules Refreshers • Dress Code: • Review pages 12-13 in the agenda: • Cover shoulders, midriff, chest area, and underarms. • Pants should cover underwear. • Shorts and skirts decent length. • Clothing that is skin-tight or low cut is not appropriate. • Hats [and hoodies] may not be worn in the building. • Sleepwear is not appropriate.
Some Quick Rules Refreshers • Lunch Procedures: • After 3rd or 7th period class, go directly to your locker, grab everything that you need for 4th or 8th period, and drop off at that room before going to the cafeteria. • You will not be able to stop at your locker after lunch. • 6th graders are escorted to and from the cafeteria and have assigned seats. • 7th graders are escorted to and from the cafeteria and have assigned seats. • What about 8th graders?
Some Quick Rules Refreshers • Lunch Procedures: • As you walk to the cafeteria, classes are going on… please refrain from talking until you arrive in the cafeteria.
You can make anything fun or anything torture… It’s all in your perspective. Lesson for the year…
