RIVERA students ARE RESPECTFUL!

RESPECT is a way of positively treating or thinking about something or someone. You show respect by being polite and kind and showing that you care about how someone feels. When people are insulted or treated badly, they feel they haven't been treated with respect. You can respect things as well as people.

10 Ways to Show RESPECT are:

Be kind and thoughtful
Be polite and use manners
Listen to others' points of view and opinions
Think before you speak, think about your language and tone
Lend a helping hand or ear and practice compassion
Avoid rumors and any conversations that may be considered hurtful.
Respect others' personal space and personal property
Understand that everyone has different experiences and beliefs
Speak up if others around you are being disrespectful
Be willing to admit mistakes and do better when you are disrespectful

Examples of Being RESPECTFUL are:

You are quiet in a library to show that you care about respect others' need to read without interruption.
You follow your parents' rules to show them you care respect them and how they feel about the situation.
You don't call people names because you care about respect their feelings.
