Changing School Rules

I will learn how to identify both sides of an issue, by identifying a school rule I want changed and completing a graphic organizer.

Directions:

  1. Read through our Dimmitt School Handbook, as you read record the rules that you think need changed.

Keep in mind, the reading from last week about school rules that target a specific group of students. Do we have any rules that need to be changed or added?


  1. Access the assignment our Google Classroom: g2v63ct
