SCHOOL UNIFORMS
STARTING THE YEAR OFF RIGHT
During the first week of school, we focus on teaching the school-wide rules, behavioral expectations, and routines to all students across all settings in the school. The staff organizes a set of events to provide students and staff with an entertaining, memorable, and positive first week of school in which everyone learns the rules, expectations, and routines throughout the entire school.
One of the major reasons to teach behavioral expectations and routines across settings is so all staff agrees on what is expected. A second major reason is that we cannot always assume students know the expectations and routines.
Having a few simple, positively stated rules facilitates the teaching of behavioral expectations across school settings because students will be learning through the same language. By focusing on 3 simple rules it is easier for students to remember. It is also important for staff because instruction focusing on a few simple rules improves teaching and consistency across staff through the use of a common language.
