Changes have been made
To live is to change, and to be perfect
is to have changed often. John Henry Newman
Goals of the Promise Program
To learn: How to learn. How to properly respond in a school
setting. How to manage time wisely. How to enjoy school without getting in
trouble.
To be successful in school, YOU must learn to be receptive so you can
receive!
Being receptive begins with:
Listening to others…your peers, teachers, administrators, parents.Following classroom expectations.Completing assignments.
Promise Point System• The student will follow classroom
expectations to be eligible for rewards, which can include: Eating lunch in the lunchroom with
your peers. Taking part in special activities. Plus opportunities to use I-pods
during online study and concession stand before classes begin.
Field Trips “To Be Announced”
I-Pod Info Bring your own device and headphones. NO internet music sites. Ever. Period. If you are playing your music so loudly that the rest of the class is disrupted, you may lose your I-Pod privilege.If the previous day’s score sheet does not show a 3 or 4 score, you must turn the device in with your cell phone.
Your Score Counts!The most important reward is
having a HIGH AVERAGE in your behavior points.
Used for:• Your class participation grade • An item to consider when you
may be eligible for getting out of the evening promise program!
