Ensuring a safe and respectful learning environment is one of our classroom goals.  To achieve this we use the following expectations in our classroom:

1. Be safe—We use kind words, actions, and signs.

2. Learn—We have the right to learn.  We do not disrupt the learning of others.

3. Respect—We respect ourselves, our environment, and others.

We will learn a special skill, each week that will guide us to make choices that support a positive, creative, and productive learning environment.  There are 16 basic Boys Town Social Skills that are taught, demonstrated, and expected of Meade 46-1 students.

Introducing Yourself	Following Instructions	Accepting a Criticism	Accepting "No"
Greeting Others	Getting the Teacher's Attention	Asking For What You Want	Disagreeing
Giving a Criticism	Saying "No"	Saying You're Sorry	Talking With Others
Giving Compliments	Accepting Compliments	Offering to Help	Reporting to the Teacher

In the event that a child does not meet our classroom expectations consequences are fair, logical, and consistent. Please refer to the Sturgis Elementary Handbook for our school's discipline plan.
