Most adolescents anxiously anticipate the
new freedom they will enjoy when they become licensed drivers. As we all know, however, driving is a privilege,
not a right. Privileges can be
revoked. This is a lesson better learned
in the safety of the classroom, rather than on the roadways of life later
on. In order to promote an awareness
that all behaviors (good and bad) result in consequences, our Behavior
Expectations are modeled after the rules of the road. Here is a summary of what we will follow in
class:
The Rules of the Road
On the Highway to Success
1. Be READY to
learn:
Come to class with your materials and a good attitude every day.
STOP at the door and make sure you are READY!
2. Be RESPECTFUL
to others:
Treat others with care and concern through your words and actions.
YIELD to others and make sure you are RESPECTFUL!
3. Be RESPONSIBLE
to yourself:
Complete your assignments on time and to the best of your ability.
LIMIT distractions that make you less RESPONSIBLE!
4. Be RESPONSIVE
to changes:
Ask for help if you encounter difficulty and need help.
CAUTION me of struggles so you can be RESPONSIVE!
Breaking the Rules of the Road will result in a “traffic ticket.” (student notification)
Three (3) tickets will result in a trip to “traffic court.” (student conference)
Additional tickets will result in loss of privileges. (parent
notification)
