Scribner-Snyder Community Schools
2009-2010
Grades 7-12 Student / Parent Handbook
We expect ALL STUDENTS to:
1. Attend school and be on time.
You cannot get an education if you aren’t in attendance. You must look at this as training for a career. Getting to work and being punctual are two things all employers consider highly desirable in a candidate.
2. Go to class prepared.
This means being organized and ready for whatever the instructor has planned for that day. It would also include bringing to class what is needed for that day and having the attitude that you can learn something that day.
3. Respect others.
You cannot respect others if you have no respect yourself. Set some goals for yourself and design a plan to reach them. When dealing with others remember that sometimes we are a product of our circumstances. Life is never the same for everyone and we must respect and be understanding of other’s situations. We should be an encouragement to others and not a hindrance.
4. Get involved in activities.
We have a number of extra-curricular activities and organizations available to everyone in our student body. Studies show that students involved in extra-curricular activities actually perform better academically even though they have fewer hours available for homework.
5. Never Make Excuses.
Excuses are like armpits; we all have them and they all stink. The ladder of success is never crowded at the top because excuses keep you from meeting your goals and potential. Work your way up to the top. Remember there is only one endeavor that you can start at the top and that is digging a hole. Excuses put you in a hole!
We as a staff hope you will always be pulling for each other to be successful academically, in activities, and in everything we do.
Remember: Don't put off until tomorrow what needs to be done today.
