LMS Resolution of Respect

​

In order to have the most inclusive school possible, the students at LMS agree:

  • To treat others with respect
  • That kindness is everything
  • To use language in a positive way and not as a put-down
  • Don’t be a bystander, stand by
  • Become an ally: be a change agent
  • To accept everyone's differences and include everyone
  • To listen and accept everyone's ideas and try them out, even if they don't sound interesting
  • To be aware of your own biases and how they can impact others

​

To-Do: What to change? What to add?

Scenarios-

  • You have a substitute for math. How are they welcomed in the class? What could we do to be more welcoming so they want to return?
  • Mrs. Locks is out sick and we have a new person covering lunches for the day. What do they observe as they supervise lunch and recess? How is this a microcosm of LMS culture?
