STUDENT EXPECTATIONS ASSEMBLY
CLIFFORD H. SMART MIDDLE SCHOOL
Dear CHS Middle School Families,
Today we held our first student expectation assembly of the school year. These assemblies, along with visits to individual classrooms, will take place throughout the school year. The assemblies and classroom conversations are a proactive approach to reviewing over behavioral, attendance and academic expectations with students. We also discussed the consequences of not meeting our expectations and violating our code of conduct.
Below is a brief summary of what was shared at this today's expectations assembly:
Illegal Harassment (race, religion, gender, etc.)
Provided examples of what illegal harassment is
No such thing as “joking” or “playing around”
Social media
Issues outside of school can often impact the learning environment at CHS and as result may be addressed by the CHS Administrative Team and Local Law Enforcement if needed
Possible legal implications
Inappropriate "hands on" behavior
Pushing and shoving peers can often escalate, even amongst friends
The importance of sportsmanship and enjoying activities during recess and class
Dress Code
Dressing appropriately for school and what that looks like
Golden Rule: Treat others as you would want to be treated
Respect the differences of others
Lunchroom expectations
Smart Style (pride, respect, attitude, and determination)
Absences and tardies
The importance of completing classwork
Striving to be better
Please take a moment to discuss these expectations with your child and feel free to contact a member of our administrative team if you have any questions.
Along with our expectations assemblies, we also take the time throughout the school year to celebrate students for the many things they do to make CHS Middle School a special place.
We made great strides last school year and expect to build upon those gains to ensure that the CHS School Community continues to be an exceptional learning environment for ALL children and families.
Thank you for your continued support.
