Wildcat Skills and Expectations

These students are shining examples of what it means to be a Wildcat and follow the Washington Way!

This week students will be taking care of a problem. They will learn how and when it is appropriate for them to take care of a problem themselves and when it is necessary to get help with a problem.

1. Stop and think about the situation.

2. Decide, "Is this hurting someone, putting them in danger or embarrassing someone?"

If the answer is "No"

• Use a calm voice
• Ask the person, "Will you please stop?"
• Tell them why you would like them to stop

If the answer is "Yes"

• Use a calm voice
• Speak to an adult privately
• Tell the adult what exactly is happening
• Tell why it is hurting, dangerous or embarrassing
• Do not talk about the situation with other classmates

Why should we follow these steps?

• To keep ALL students safe

• To learn to take care of our problems

• To stop gossip about others

• To get the appropriate help for others
