This month, our middle school is focusing on Respect—defined as demonstrating good manners toward yourself and others.

Respect starts with how we treat the people around us through daily kindness, listening carefully, and using good manners. But it also means respecting yourself by taking pride in your work, making healthy choices, and holding yourself to high standards!

How can students show respect this month? Say "please" and "thank you" to classmates, teachers, and staff. Hold doors open and include someone new at lunch. Treat school property and personal belongings with care. Speak kindly to others—and practice positive self-talk, too!

Let’s work together to make our school a welcoming, respectful place every single day. Parents and guardians, ask your student this week how they demonstrated respect today!
