  3. Welcome to the 2013/2014 school year • Expectations for the year • Great job to some of you • Review of goals for the year

  4. Goals for 2013/2014 • One of our goals for this year is to make the seventh grade experience the best for you. • In order to achieve this goal, there are some specific steps we have to take as a school –and steps for you to take as members of the Roger Williams Learning Community. • As a school, we want to provide a safe and nurturing environment for all our students.

  5. Goals continued-Role of Students • In order to ensure safety for all students, we must know where you are at all times-you have to go to your classes as scheduled and you must not wonder around the school. School is serious business and you waste time by walking around-and it becomes a safety issue because anything can happen. • Also, in order for you to gain the best experience, you have to be in school everyday. Any day you miss school, you miss a lot of your school work and sometimes, it takes a lot of effort for you to catch up.

  6. Role of Students-Discipline • A review of our end of year report on students showed that majority of our students had no respect for their teachers and other adults in the building. • Therefore it’s very important that you are respectful and polite to your teachers, other adults and classmates.

  7. Bullying • Any sort of bullying will not be tolerated. • Bullying can be verbal as well as physical. • Restroom vandalism will not be tolerated-any student involved in this will be sent to the Student Affairs Office. • Have respect for the Learning Environment • Behavior on the buses has to be positive!!!

  8. Role of Seventh Graders • Seventh graders are also preparing to go to high schools , so it’s important they are in school everyday so that they don’t miss any school work. A strong academic foundation in 7th grade leads to a successful high school experience. • Teachers will be writing recommendations for various high schools –and poor behavior will be reflected when teachers write these letters. • We also expect all 7th graders to be leaders so that you can be excellent examples for the 6th graders.

  9. Review of 5Ps in the classroom • Be Prompt • Be Prepared • Be Productive • Be Polite • Be persistent

  10. Wearing of Uniforms in School • Roger Williams is a “uniform school,” so we expect students to wear their uniforms when they are in school. • This improves the school culture because generally students are better behaved when they are uniforms. • The uniform culture helps us to quickly identify intruders.

  11. Wearing of Uniforms & Promotional Exercises!!! • Although you are 7th graders, I would like you to know that there are requirements for participation in the grade 8 promotional exercises-and wearing of school uniforms could be part of it. • When you get to 8th grade, there will be a series of parent meetings and parents will be informed of the requirements. • Requirements include academics, attendance, • Uniform participation and behavior expectations.

  12. Graduation Requirements • While on the subject-I would like you to know that 70 of our 8th graders could not participate in graduation last year because they failed to follow the expectations. • What you do everyday becomes your habit, so get into the habit of wearing uniforms.

  13. Student Attendance • The mark of any good school is the number of students who attend school everyday. The State Department of Education as well Providence School District, do track the percentage of students in school everyday. We want to have above 95% of our students in school everyday-and we need your support to achieve that goal. Sometimes, students will give excuses not to be in school, so encourage them to come everyday. There is award for perfect attendance.

  14. Student Attendance • It’s part of our school improvement plan to improve attendance and reduce tardiness. • Parents will receive notification when your children is absent from school without an excuse. • Parents and family members need to notify the school when there are problems at home which could interfere with a child’s schooling.

  15. Students and Assessments • Students have to take all their class test seriously -as well as the District STAR Reading & Math tests as well as the NECAP Tests. The STAR Testis a diagnostic test which helps us to determine the Math & Reading levels of our students. • The NECAP Test is used to determine what our students have been taught and what they have learned. The results are used to classify all public schools in Rhode Island.

  16. Seventh Grade students and their grades • It’s very important that 7th graders continue to take their school work seriously. • Students who would want to apply to Classical for example, need to understand that your 7th grade grades will be part of the application packet. • Same idea be applies to other high schools.

  17. I Wish you a great School YearDo your best!!! • Thank you!!!
