Student of the Month Focus
November
Pride Expectation: Dependability
Dependability is defined as the quality of being able to be counted on or relied upon. For example, when you always do everything that you say you will and don't make promises you cannot keep shows an example of dependability.
Theme: The focus this month is becoming a dependable citizen. Students can be a dependable citizen at school be being respectful of other students and staff members, following school rules, and displaying good character. Students who volunteer their time in school service are representing how to be a dependable citizen. The challenge this month is to choose an activity (which may include one you are currently involved in) and make a commitment to follow through with your responsibilities related to this activity. Do not let others down by not following through on your commitment.
December
Pride Expectation: Engaged
Engaged means to commit oneself to do something; to concentrate on a task, be actively involved with interest.
Theme: This month's focus is about being engaged for success. A student who gives his/her best each day, is committed to following their school's rules and values, and is motivated to contribute to making school a great place to learn is an example of a student engaged for success. The challenge this month is for students to choose a subject or class that may be less interesting to them and find a way to make this class more engaging to you. Choose to interact and participate more in class discussions, research more about a topic assigned in class that shows how it relates to your world, offer unique and creative ideas to your teacher that may help you become more engaged in the subject. Find a way to relate a less interesting topic or subject to real-life examples to help you be more engaged in learning.
