Expectations
We want all students to be successful at John Muir Academy
All students are expected to come in uniform each day.
Students should come to school prepared to learn.
To prevent the placement of used chewing gum in inappropriate and costly places, chewing gum is not allowed at school.
Muir K-8 Academy Common Area Expectations
Cafeteria

-
Help: Raise your hand if you need help.
-
Activity: Eat your lunch and clean your area.
-
Movement: Ask an adult to leave your seat.
-
Participation: Everyone follows the rules.
Teachers escort each class to line up at the cafeteria lines, monitoring their students are quiet in the QUIET ZONE, staying in their line, keeping their hands to themselves, facing forward, and listening for adult directions. Students wait to be invited into the cafeteria. Students get their food and sit where they are directed by the recreation staff. Students enter the cafeteria on the north side and exit the cafeteria on the south side.
Hallways/Walkways: 1000 building - enter through the North and South doors to come to the office and/or nurse.

Walk down the hallway/walkway.

Follow guidelines for each area.
-
QUIET ZONE - outside 3000 building as teachers walk students to lunch lines
-
WALK ZONE - from cafeteria to north or south playground
-
LEARNING ZONE - quiet area, students not allowed during recess/lunch
The expectation is that students will line up and walk through the walk zone to get back to class, unless the teacher is picking them up.
Playground
-
PLAY - the goal is to HAVE FUN! It is not a competition.
-
Wait behind the red line until the teacher is on supervision. Students need to know who monitors each day and listen to all adults.
