Adult Conduct and Safety Expectations
It is my expectation that all adults (staff and parents) over the age of 18 at Hope Tolson Community Charter School conduct themselves in a way in which our children can be proud of.
What our Children Need...
THEY NEED US! PARENTS/ FAMILIES AND STAFF TO MAKE SURE THEY KNOW THEY ARE SAFE AND SECURE!
They need us to set the example and I know in my heart that we can do it together as partners.
Who We Are:
We are a school community of love and kindness ! We are working hard to ensure that we are working to provide an example for your children and our students.
WHAT WE DO:
We want to ensure that all students are safe and feel that school is a place of peace and joy.
While we cannot control what is happening in the world, as the Adults of Hope Tolson, we can control the climate and atmosphere we provide for your children and our students.
If there is a need or concern ,it is our job as Parent ADULTS and Staff ADULTS to resolve all matters PEACEFULLY. We can resolve anything together!
WE WILL ensure that we are making YOUR children AND OUR STUDENTS first and that we all remain safe.
All adults (Families and Staff) will use appropriate conduct when interacting in person and virtually so that we can ensure that our children feel comfortable and secure.
I GUARANTEE, THAT WE CAN WORK OUT ANY NEED AS A TEAM!
WE WILL GET THERE!
ITS BEEN A CHALLENGE FOR US ALL, BUT WE CAN DO IT AND BE THE BEST SCHOOL IN WARD 5!
WE HAVE THE BEST STUDENTS!
WE HAVE THE BEST FAMILIES!
WE HAVE THE BEST STAFF!
