Student Expectations


Heats operates as an extension of the school day, and students are expected to follow the Jackson Student Code of Conduct. Students are expected to follow all directions and respect all staff members. It is important that we continue to uphold the Hearts expectations and procedures, to provide a safe learning environment for all students and staff in Hearts.

Behavior Expectations

Students are expected to follow the same behavioral expectations that are given during the school day and must follow our 4 pillars of character.


Show Kindness

  • Be thankful, kind, and considerate to all peers and staff

  • Work together to settle disagreements peacefully

  • Come to Hearts with a positive attitude


Observe Safety

  • Be checked into Hearts within 10 minutes of dismissal and be ready for pick up with their teachers.

  • Keep hands, feet and objects to yourself

  • Follow directions the first time given

  • Keep to the designated area


Act Responsibly

  • Follow directions the first time given

  • Own your actions

  • Accept the consequences of your actions


Respect Others

  • Keep our classrooms, schools, and community clean.

  • Report incidents to adults

  • Use appropriate language

  • Help others make smart decisions

If students cannot follow a behavior expectation, the following consequences can be enforced:


  • Verbal warning

  • Loss of privilege(s)

  • Suspension from Hearts

  • Dismissal from the Program


Guardians will be notified after a verbal warning. Repeated suspensions through the end of the year will result in dismissal from the program. Additionally, as Hearts is an extension of the school day, behavior that does not follow our Jacksons Elementary School Student Code of Conduct, found in the student planner, may also result in consequences during the school day as well.
