October Happenings!

With all of those new school year jitters behind us, it is now time to fine tune our focus for learning.  It is time to set our sights on those goals that we created in September and move forward full steam ahead. 
It is important that we have the

COURAGE to be organized.
OPTIMISM to know we can succeed.
RESPECT for our teachers and classmates.
RESPONSIBILITY to do our job as students.
EMPATHY to understand our classmates and some of the hard times they have had to face already this year.
CITIZENSHIP that do our best to represent ourselves, our classes, our schools, our community....
TRUSTWORTHINESS in all that we do.  Our teachers and parents can trust that we are working hard to do our best.

Remember these "I'm ready for school" tips...

a/   Get a good night's sleep so you are ready to do your best.

b/  Eat breakfast so that you are physically ready to learn.

c/  Be on-time for school and class each day.

d/  Come to school and class prepared with your supplies, books, and homework.

e/  Show respect to your teacher and your classmates by listening in class and not being a distraction. 

f/  If you have a question, raise your hand and politely ask the teacher.  More than likely others will benefit from your question as well.

g/  Be aware and patient with your classmates. We all learn in different ways and at a different pace. 

Remember our CORRECT values help us gain the most from our classes and our total school experience!
