“Respect.....Your Right, Your Responsibility”

As a student at Mohave Middle School, I have the following rights:

• To be treated with respect by my peers.

• To attend school without fear of teasing, bullying, or harassment.

• To feel free to be myself, without ridicule from my peers.

• To learn in an environment that is safe and caring.

In addition to these rights, I have the following responsibilities:

• Refrain from name-calling and other forms of hurtful behaviors.

• Avoid behaviors that intimidate, harass, or unfairly judge others.

• Treat my classmates with respect and kindness.

I understand that I play an important role in promoting a positive school climate at Mohave Middle School. I agree that behaviors which hurt others should not be tolerated, and support strict consequences for those who violate the rights of others. I realize that if I am hurt by the words and actions of others, I should immediately seek out a teacher, counselor or administrator for support. I, like my peers, should face serious consequences if I behave in a manner that is hurtful in nature. I pledge to do my part to make Mohave Middle School a positive, caring, and respectful place to learn.
