Two fairly simple rules to keep in mind -
If you wouldn't do it or say it with your parents or grandparents standing next to you, then you shouldn't do it or say it!
If you wouldn't want someone to do it or say it to your parents or grandparents, (or you) then you shouldn't do it or say it!
School is for learning
▪ Middle school is important because it builds the foundation of skills students need to pass the Graduation Requirements mandated by the State of Florida.
▪ These State mandated Graduation Requirements/Tests occur during the Freshman and Sophomore years in High School – so the foundational skills are learned in middle school.
School is NOT for
▪Bringing drama from Social Media
▪ Finding a Boyfriend or Girlfriend
▪Hanging out with your friends in the hallways.
