Dear Chaparral Middle School parents, One of our goals with our middle school for 2010-2011 school year is to help students establish the necessary and beneficial study skills necessary to ensure your child’s success in school now and in the future. To help us facilitate this goal Chaparral will be implementing the PRIDE program on November 1st. What is PRIDE? Pride is an acronym for Personal Responsibility in Daily Effort. The PRIDE program addresses the following expectations:
How do you track students in their success? Every day, in every class, your child will be given a stamp in their agenda if he/she has met the PRIDE program expectations. If your child has not met the expectations in that class period box they will receive a:
What happens if my student has perfect PRIDE? Monthly, students who have perfect pride for the week can have their names put in for a weekly drawing. Quarterly, students will be given award certificates and be able to participate in the school reward activity. What happens if my child receives a T, H, or M in a class? The student must serve PRIDE after school from 3:05-3:35PM Monday-Friday. It is the student’s responsibility to notify his/her parents that they will be staying afterschool. Bus transportation home after PRIDE will not be available. What happens in PRIDE? Students are expected to complete schoolwork during that time period. If a student has an H for one or more class periods they will be required to complete those assignments and turn them in to the teacher the next day. There might be points taken off of the assignment per the teacher’s syllabus; however, the student will still be required to turn in the work. If a student does not have homework for that evening there will be enrichment packets for the student to work on and turn in to the PRIDE teacher. What happens if my child is given PRIDE and they do not go to PRIDE? 1st no show- re-assigned PRIDE during lunch the next day 2nd no show- re-assigned PRIDE during lunch for two days 3rd no show- parent meeting, out-of -School suspension and placement on an academic/behavior contract. *Students involved in extra-curricular activities must serve PRIDE before they can attend practice/games/activities. What happens if my student have an appointment after school?
The PRIDE program is designed to help all Chaparral students be prepared for their educational career. If you have additional questions regarding the Chaparral PRIDE program, please contact the front office. Thank you for your support during the implementation of the Personal Responsibility in Daily Efforts program. Sincerely, Jessica Edgar Principal
