Believe in yourself!
	Seek the help of any staff member if you find yourself having problems; we can't help if we don't know.
	Be prepared with all necessary materials.
	Look for someone you can help in school. We are part of a team that is working for success.
	Get involved. At Williams we have many recognition and reward programs and these help make school a great experience!

 

	Every person has the right to be treated as an exceptional human being. By being a student at Williams, you can expect these things:
	The right to an education (teachers should be free to teach and students free to learn without being interrupted by inconsiderate or disruptive students).
	The right to be safe in school and to have personal and school property respected.
	Freedom from physical abuse and/or mental abuse such as name calling, intimidation, harassment, or vulgar language. Swearing and use of inappropriate language are not acceptable. Discipline will be in compliance with school and district policy.
	The right to be respected, and the right to privacy and freedom.
	The right to develop one's own personality (as long as it does not interfere with the rights of others).

 

	During this time of your life, EDUCATION is your career. Coming to school is your job and your basic job expectations are as follows:
	Bring proper SCHOOL SUPPLIES to class daily.
	Take your PLANNER to each class daily.
	Know which classes require SPECIAL MATERIALS. Be responsible for taking those materials to each appropriate class.
	Be prepared and complete all HOMEWORK assignments.
	Be responsible for LEARNING at school. Learning is your first responsibility. It is great to have friends but you should not socialize during class time. Socializing interferes with both learning and the general atmosphere of the classroom.
	Put forth your best EFFORT at all times.

Homework

Homework provides excellent opportunities for developing good study habits, providing for individual differences and abilities, and encouraging self-initiative on the part of the student.

Parents, students, and the school share the responsibility for student learning. Parents can assist their child(ren) with homework by:

 

	providing a study area free of distractions with good lighting;
	asking questions about the content of student homework;
	giving requested assistance, but letting the student do his or her own work;
	avoiding undue pressure; and
	helping create a "homework habit" at the same time each night.

Williams believes that parental involvement in student's homework is essential to making homework an integral part of the educational program. Parents should encourage and monitor homework assignments.
Homework assignments will be graded and included in each student's quarterly grade.
