Social Contract!
Every student has the right to feel... Safe, Respected, Responsible & Prepared for Success!
This means we also have the duty to...
Be Safe:
1) Walk into class with quiet voices. (yelling hurts our singing voices!)
Be Respectful: (Zero Tolerance - violation is an immediate consiquence)
1) Keep hands, feet, body and objects to yourself.
2) Use appropriate language, gestures and written words.
Be Responsible:
1) Clean up your learning area and place materials back into your folder slot when dismissed.
Be Prepared:
1) Have all classroom materials and be in your seat when the bell rings
*Behavioral Errors could lead to one or more of the following...(each week is a fresh start!)
1) 15 second detention after class
2) 30 second detention after class & Behavior Ticket
3) 1 minute detention after class, Behavior Ticket (signed by a parent) & a call home
4) Principals office / In School Suspension
*Behavior Tickets: Forms to be filled out and returned the next day.
(What happened, who was involved and how it will be different next time)

All thoughts, concerns, or great ideas are always worth mentioning.

Keys to Success!
Developed by Dr. Walter Turnbull Founding Director of The Boys Choir of Harlem
1. Keep your mind open to constructive criticism. Even the best constantly seek ways to improve and are not completely satisfied with praise only.
2. Know your surroundings and act accordingly. Rude and discourteous behavior is not acceptable anywhere.
3. Trust your own judgments and make your own decisions. Following the crowd is often the easy way out. Leaders listen with their own hearts and minds.
4. Be honest with others and, more importantly, with yourself.
5. Set goals and complete them. The combination of talent, discipline, and hard work is unbeatable. No one gets something for nothing.
6. Be prepared for the unexpected. Life is filled with surprises and disappointments. The ability to adapt is vital for long-range success.
7. Be a team player. The part is never greater than the whole, and a selfish attitude gets in the way of progress.
8. Develop and appreciate high standards. The goal is excellence -- there is no substitute.
