Welcome to the 2013-14 Academic Year

Punctuality

Check your time table. Make sure there are no errors.

Notice the start time. Why is punctuality important?

1. Shows you care about school. You’re getting the rest you need and limiting tweeting, other smartphone/computer stuff and TV for the sake of your education

2. Respect for peers and teachers who would be interrupted by your lateness.

Lockers

Record the number assigned to you and write down your combination in a safe place. Don’t try to get a second locker.

Keep them clean. Remember they are borrowed and are school property. Respect the student who will get your locker next year.

Why Wear a Uniform?Here are 4 reasons.

1) Students get to feel like they are part of the school team working toward the common goal of improving skills in a non-threatening environment..

2) No one gets to show off their greater quantity or variety of clothes.

3) Students don’t waste time wondering what to wear every morning; they just concentrate on breakfast and washing up etc.

4) Students don’t get to distract each other by revealing skin that’s not on their faces and necks.

Here are four more reasons:

5. No one gets to pretend they are more fashionable than others

6. It saves money. 7. Can you think of more reasons?

A Uniform, by Definition, has Narrow Guidelines

Black leather shoes are part of the uniform. Black gym shoes are not.

More Guidelines

No short skirts

Honesty Starts in School

Dishonest Wall Street brokers and countries that falsified admission requirements into the European Union have caused a loss of jobs, pensions and poverty. False intelligence reports and propaganda have led to unnecessary wars and invasions, leading to the death and torture of innocent people.

No one wants failing marks if they have done their part. But no one should get stellar marks either just by sitting next to the right person.

Consequences of Cheating: School Policy

Tests, Exams: ZERO, no chances Copying of others’ work (includes

copying friend or off books or the internet):must redo the assignment with maximum mark of 75%
