Expecting Excellence Every Day!!!

• What is Excellence at Coweeman?– Excellence is more than simply being good, it

is exceptional—better than most– Excellence is holding yourself to a standard

above comparing yourself to everyone else– Every day means in everything we do, and

when we fall short of excellence, we will do better the next time

Excellence in the Classroom

• Excellent study habits– Bring materials—every day– Listen attentively to your teacher—every day– Complete your work—every day

• Be an excellent classmate– Respect everyone for who they are– Respect others’ and school property– Go the extra mile to be kind to help your classmates

• Be an excellent student for your teacher– Follow instructions– Show your teacher you appreciate them– Express disagreements or frustration in the right time, place, and

manner

Excellence in the Halls/Lunchroom/Outside

• Take care of the school:– Pick up garbage, even if it’s not yours– Smile and say hi to others—even if you don’t know or

like them– Respect others’ space, keep hands and feet to

yourself

• Report inappropriate behavior you see to your teacher or the office

• Find a way to make someone’s day every day
