Learning Environment

Hatley Elementary Learning Environment

Hatley students have a right to learn and feel safe at school. Our teachers do their best to provide an environment in which students are comfortable and can succeed. Students help create this positive culture, tool. Let’s make respectful decisions together. IN

The Classroom

The following guidelines are important when students are making decisions in the classroom:

  • Respect the space, property, and rights of others. • Participate in an appropriate way.
  • Come to school ready to learn!
  • Be cooperative by following directions.

In Common Areas

The following guidelines are important when students are making decisions in locations such as the bathroom, hallway, gym, etc.

  • Respect the space, property, and rights of others.
  • Be cooperative by following directions.
  • Use voice volume that matches the environment (quiet in bathroom, quiet in hallway when other classes are working, talking volume during lunch, etc).

On the Playground

The following guidelines are important when students are making decisions on the playground:

  • Play must be safe and not cause danger to others.
  • Play must be fair. Demonstrate good sportsmanship. • Students must respect others and their property.
  • Stay within the boundaries that a supervisor advises.
  • Be cooperative by following directions. Some additional considerations during winter are as follows:
  • When snow is present, students should have winter gear (snow pants, boots, jackets, mittens/gloves, hat/headband).
  • Snow should not be thrown or kicked.
  • Go “feet first” if using a sliding hill.
  • If there are icy patches on the playground, avoid walking on them.
  • Equipment with metal bars and climbing structures are off-limits when weather requires boots and mittens/gloves (too slippery for safe use).
