Responsible Students Program
B.E.A.R.S.
(Be
Eager and Responsible Students)
Developing
responsible students at home and at school – being responsible and
positive about school is a key to success.
Two Goals:
1.
Teach Standards and Character Development 2.
Follow Through With Expectations
1.
Teach Standards…
Be prepared for class
including pencil, paper, books, agenda books, and homework completed.
Assignments must be written in the agenda books,
agenda books taken home nightly, signed nightly and brought
back to school the next day.
(This is a great way for teachers and parents to
communicate through notes in the agenda book.)
Parents are asked not only to sign the agenda
book but to check to make sure that all work is completed and ready for
class the next day.
Be seated for class to begin
and be ready for class.
Be ready for dismissal – stay
in seat until dismissed by the teacher and have your materials ready for
the next class or to go home.
Book bags are stored in the
proper place in school.
Walk on the right side of the
hallways; stairs; and sidewalks.
Move slowly and quietly to
and from class.
Teach
Character Development…
October Caring
November &
December Responsibility
January Trustworthiness
February Fairness
March & April Respect
May & June Citizenship
