The Respect Plan

     The RESPECT Program at Jordan School has been created in an effort to improve our student’s understanding of what our school community considers to be appropriate and respectful behavior.  The faculty of Jordan School believes that our school community, in many ways, is a smaller version of the larger Centralia community.  Our school’s ethnic and economic diversity provides us with an ideal environment in which to teach our students tolerance and acceptance in many different areas.  The faculty of Jordan School is committed to both teaching and modeling those behaviors that we hope to instill in our students.

    The Jordan School RESPECT Plan allows the faculty and the students to focus on a different aspect of RESPECT each month.  At the beginning of each month, teachers at all grade levels introduce a new theme relating to respectful and appropriate behavior.  The teachers provide grade level instruction to the students through various methods such as, role-playing, teacher modeling, classroom discussion, videos and reading.  Other methods and techniques are incorporated as well.

    In conjunction with teachers establishing and presenting these monthly RESPECT themes, students are encouraged to express and demonstrate these behaviors on a daily basis in their classrooms and around the school.  Each week, every classroom teacher will select one student from their class who most demonstrates that month's RESPECT Theme.  Those students who have been selected as weekly winners by their teachers will then have their names announced over the school intercom.  They will also be invited down to Mr. Bland's office to receive a Central Park Certificate.

    At the end of each month, Jordan School hosts a Good Conduct Party for those students who have achieved the school’s behavior goals for that month. During this recognition party, RESPECT Awards will be presented to those students who have been selected by their classroom teachers as students who most appropriately demonstrate the characteristics of the monthly theme through both their daily actions, and through their interactions with the members of the school community.

    All of the weekly & RESPECT winners will have their names displayed in our main hallway on the "The RESPECT Wall of Fame" Bulletin Board.
