City Neighbors Charter School‘s Monday Mailer Online is a digital duplicate of the blue Monday Mailer sent home with your child every Monday.

If you have flyers or forms that will be included in the Monday Mailer, and you would also like to see your flyer or form online, send a digital copy (Word docs work best) to pwbalto – at – gmail.com. We will do our best to make it available here.

 

The City Neighbors Way

This year, we are introducing a set of norms that will guide our work together as a community—as students, as teachers, and as parents. These norms will appear strongly in our classrooms, on our report cards, in our system of behavior accountability, and in our community. We will be starting work on these norms from the very first day of school with constant re-visiting, conversation, and exploration.

Performance Values

COLLABORATION

When I work in a group, team or partnership I work with and learn from others.

WORK ETHIC

When I am working on a task that is hard, I first try my best and then ask for help.

PREPARATION

I come to class on time and ready to work.

OPEN-MINDEDNESS

I am open to trying new things and exploring new ideas.

PERSEVERANCE

I keep working until a task is done well, even if it takes several tries.

HONEST REFLECTION

I strive to know my strengths and weaknesses. I look back to see how I was successful and how I could do better.

Social Values

COMPASSION AND CARE

When someone wants or needs help, I help them.

RESOLVING CONFLICT

When I get mad or frustrated I manage my anger and then solve the problem calmly, using only appropriate language and tone.

SHARING SPACES

I respect shared spaces. I am quiet and calm in the hallways. I do not disrupt the learning of others. I leave my environment clean and orderly.

EMBRACING DIVERSITY

I know that we are different in many ways. I do my part to create a community that welcomes and values all people.

SHOWING RESPECT

I speak and act appropriately and respectfully toward adults, peers and those younger and older than me.

TAKING RESPONSIBILITY

I can’t control the words or actions of others, but I can control my own. I am responsible for the choices I make.

SAFETY

I respect that everyone has the right to feel safe in their personal space. I keep my hands and feet to myself and I take or use only what belongs to me.

While understanding that we’re all human and will sometimes fall short, we need your help in making these values take root here at City Neighbors.
