Student School-Wide Expectations

Middle school is such an exciting time of growth and discovery for our students, and we know that the foundation for a positive school experience starts with clear expectations and consistent support both at school and at home. That's why we're asking for your help in having an important conversation with your child about our behavior expectations.

What Makes Our School Special

We're committed to fostering an environment where:

• Every student feels valued, respected, and included

• Kindness and empathy guide our interactions

• Everyone has the opportunity to learn and grow

• Differences are celebrated and embraced

• Students feel safe to be themselves

How You Can Help

We'd love for you to take a few minutes to discuss with your student what it means to be part of our school community. Talk about how their words and actions can make a positive difference in someone else's day, and how we all play a role in making sure everyone feels welcome and supported.

Together We Make the Difference

Creating this kind of environment truly takes all of us working together - students, families, and staff. When we're all on the same page about treating each other with respect and kindness, amazing things happen in our classrooms and hallways. Please see the behavior matrix below and take a moment to review with your child. We will emphasize these and many other points when we are face to face with your child but we do as that you briefly review with them prior to the start of school.

Horners 3 Tenets of behavior are: Show respect; Make good decisions; Solve Problems.

Thank you for being such an important part of our school family and for helping us create a place where every student can succeed and feel proud to belong.
