SOCIAL SKILLS CLASSES ARE BASED ON THE 7 AREAS OF ETHICAL AND RESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOR EXPECTED BY STUDENTS AT RLRS (Weekly K-5 classes using many different media types/resources)

STANDARDS FOR ETHICAL AND RESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOR: OUR VALUES IN ACTION

A student who is HONEST:    Seeks to speak the truth respectfully. Acknowledges his own actions. Does not seek to steal from others. Does not cheat or plagiarize.

A student who is COMPASSIONATE:    Treats all people with kindness. Lends a helping hand to those in need.  Seeks to understand and listen.  Does not tease, taunt or draw attention to others weaknesses.

A student who is COURAGEOUS:   Does the right thing even if it’s not popular, sticks up for those who need it and takes a stand against unethical behaviors (Just Say No).

A student who is RESPONSIBLE:  Acknowledges making a mistake, answers for personal actions or failures to act and reports hurtful, hateful or dangerous behavior to an adult. 

A student who is COOPERATIVE:    Works well with others, does not take it personally when someone disagrees with them, does not need to be in control and builds up the community.
