How do we treat this classroom family?
We respect each other, by using kinds words, listening to their point of views, helping out where you can and standing up for those who need it.
Guidance Teacher and Nurse: When is it appropriate to go see them, outside of class?
When having guidance talk to the teacher then about your needs.
If the guidance teacher has scheduled to get you then do not ask to go see her. You may ask me to reach out to her or you may e-mail her.
The nurse should not be visited unless getting meds or it is an emergency. I have basic first aid care for you. This includes, band aides for bleeds or sores, thermometer for temps, etc. If a need arises I will be told and will give you permission to go to the nurse.
What is a good way to use "I" statements when you are frustrated about a consequence you received?
"I feel upset/frustrated/mad about ________".
Example: "I feel upset about this grade, but I want to understand how I can do better next time."

Choices include but not limited to:
Walking to and from locations.
