Knowing our school and class procedures is the best way parents can help reinforce these expectations each day. New and returning students receive extensive training, practice, and review of procedures during the first two weeks of school. They are also provided reminders throughout the year on WING-TV announcements, within their classrooms, during bi-weekly grade level community meetings, and scheduled grade level meetings with Administrators after school holidays that last longer than a week (ie. Winter Break). Every adult at RTE is responsible for modeling our expectations of students, and every adult is expected to monitor and reinforce these expectations with every student in the building throughout every day of the school year.
CLASSROOM Procedures
- Use LIFELONG Guidelines, LIFESKILLS, and 7 Habits.
- Be a responsible, proactive learner by having your materials ready for each class including pencil, paper, books and homework.
- Outside deliveries of celebration items are not allowed; Birthday celebrations (see page 5 for more details) are scheduled during cafeteria time only.
- Individual party invitations must include 100% of your child’s class, or they may not be passed out at school.
HALLWAY Procedures
- Quietly walk in a straight, single file line.
- Face the back of the person’s head in front of you.
- Keep your hands by your side in the hallway without touching the walls.
- Always walk on the right side of the hallway.
- Walk to your destination using the LIFESKILLS of Integrity and Responsibility, as well as Habit 6 – Synergize (together is better).
Propeller Place café Procedures
- Enter Propeller Place Café quietly and go to your assigned table.
- If you are buying lunch, remember to get your napkin, eating utensils and milk as you go through the line. If you are buying extra milk, purchase it at this time. Be proactive and make sure you have everything you need.
- Teachers are unable to heat food for students without a medical need.
- Carbonated canned or bottled drinks are not allowed.
- Students should be silent while the ambient music is playing, but low talking is permitted when the music is off (5 minute intervals).
- Eat only what you bring from home, or what is on your tray, to avoid germs being spread by trading food with others.
- Use the LIFESKILL of Responsibility and clean up your area after you eat. This creates a win-win situation for others as well as our custodians.
- At the end of your lunch, pick up all paper trash and put it into the trash barrel. All leftover food on your tray should then be dumped into the trash receptacle. Milk cartons should be emptied into the proper receptacle and recycled. Empty trays should be stacked on the counter.
- Silverware is put in the proper container and collected by a student before trays are emptied.
- Remember to separate all recyclable items.
RESTROOM Procedures
- If possible, avoid going to the restroom during direct instruction.
- Keep restroom areas clean and litter free. This creates a win-win situation for everyone.
- Only two students (one boy and one girl) will be allowed to go to the restroom at any time from each class.
- Only three students will be allowed in the restroom at one time when on a group restroom break with teacher supervision.
- Please wash your hands or use sanitizer after each bathroom break.
- Be responsible and turn water off after each use and flush toilets after each use.
- Begin with the end in mind – be quick, be clean, and be quiet while in the restroom.
