MANNERS MATTER
Practicing Good Manners Will Make a Difference 

• Stay to the right!....Whether walking in the halls, driving your car or making a decision, always remember to stay to the RIGHT.
  
• Be polite!..... Words like please, thank you and excuse me and practicing good listening techniques and patience are all good habits to develop.
  
• Keep it clean!.....The building and cafeteria were clean when you got here, please pick up after yourselves.
  
• Lock it don’t lose it!....If it is valuable or irreplaceable, please do not bring it to school.  If you must bring it to school, please bring it to the Main Office or your Unit Office for us to hold.
  
• Dress for success!.....School is where you work, learning is your job and it should be your passion.  Any clothing that is to revealing or distasteful in any way is not acceptable.  Please remember it is not the beach or a party.  School is where you go to work.
  
• Nothing but nice!.... Criticisms and comments do not have to be nasty.  If your comments or criticisms are not constructive, please keep them to yourself until you have figured out a way to say them in a positive way.
  
• It’s your transcript!...Your transcript is a reflection of your ability and work ethic.  Please work hard to make it look as attractive as possible.  Please ask us about the Advanced Regents Diploma and the Advanced Regents Diploma with Honors.  It will make a difference if you earn one!
  
• Hug your parents!.... Be sure to speak to the adults in your life who are there to support you; whether it is a parent, grandparent, teacher, friend or neighbor.

Helpful Hint!  If you wouldn’t do it in front of your parents or grandparents, please do not do it at school or at work.
