Behavior Expectations: S.T.R.I.K.E.S.T.R.I.K.E. is our school-wide behavior plan.We will use the S.T.R.I.K.E. matrix to set up

the code of conduct for our students.The teachers and staff at Depoali Middle

School will be teaching you about the behavior plan all year

You will participate in reflection assignments and activities to help you understand the behavioral expectations here at Depoali Middle School

So what does S.T.R.I.K.E. stand for?Student Planner – p. 2S: Strength – we have self-confidence and

determination to succeedT: Tolerance – we respect others and accept

differencesR: Responsibility – we own our actions, decisions, and

their outcomesI: Integrity – we do the right thing even when no one

else is watchingK: Knowledge – we are active participants in our

educationE: Empathy – we seek to understand the feelings of

others

So, what does this mean for you?Teachers and ALL staff members will be on the

lookout for students who are meeting the expectations of S.T.R.I.K.E.

Signatures may be earned in each area of the matrix where you are meeting the expectations

1 signature = 1 Diamond Buck creditDiamond Bucks may be redeemed for items in the

student store approximately every third FridayThere will also be random drawings for all

students who received the tickets for every ten teacher initials

Lockers – How-To VideoHow To Open a Locker

Lockers Some locks are extremely tricky. You may find you have to tug harder,

lean on your locker a bit, or jiggle the latch to coax it open. If nothing works, ask for help. You could have a lock that's not

working. Memorize your combination. If you choose to write it down, write it

someplace safe or hidden. Also, don't write your combination in the same place as your locker number.

Lockers have little tricks to help you unlock them faster. Sometimes you don't have to hit an actual number, but just hit a number that's nearby.

When you're done getting your books or anything you need out, close the locker shut & turn it to zero and begin clearing it. But stop after you did it 2 or 3 times. It saves time.

By clearing your locker instead of leaving it on the last number, it prevents other people from opening it.

If you can, practice opening a combination lock at home. The more you can practice with this type of lock, the easier opening your locker at school will be.

Keep your locker combination to yourself! Don’t give it away to anyone but your advisory teacher.
