We need students…
We Believe that School Climate is…
 What happens when grown ups are not
around….
 All about “perception”
 Different for different people
 Different for adults than it is for students
 Something that adults cannot change on their
own.

Message from the Students…
• Students need
meaningful incentives to
be on time to morning
classes on time.
• Teachers AND students be
to class on time and ready
to learn.
• We want improved
communication with
administrators to have
consistent and fair
discipline.
• We know as teens we will
make mistakes, some
more then others, but
please help us by
teaching us the RAMS
way!

what students buy into and what they see as
problems to fix.
• Recruit strong family members.
• Increase student membership.
• Always have two to three rolls outs a year to
encourage student buy in.
