Behavior Expectations: S.T.R.I.K.E.
 S.T.R.I.K.E. is our school-wide behavior plan.
 We will use the S.T.R.I.K.E. matrix to set up the code of
conduct for our students.
 The teachers and staff at Depoali Middle School will
be teaching you about the behavior plan all year
 You will participate in reflection assignments and
activities to help you understand the behavioral
expectations here at Depoali Middle School
So what does S.T.R.I.K.E. stand for?
Student Planner – p. 2

R: Responsibility – we own our actions, decisions, and their
outcomes
I: Integrity – we do the right thing even when no one else is
watching
K: Knowledge – we are active participants in our education
E: Empathy – we seek to understand the feelings of others
So, what does this mean for you?

Lockers – How-To Video
 How To Open a Locker
Lockers
 Some locks are extremely tricky. You may find you have to tug harder, lean on
your locker a bit, or jiggle the latch to coax it open.
 If nothing works, ask for help. You could have a lock that's not working.
 Memorize your combination. If you choose to write it down, write it someplace
safe or hidden. Also, don't write your combination in the same place as your
locker number.
 Lockers have little tricks to help you unlock them faster. Sometimes you don't
have to hit an actual number, but just hit a number that's nearby.
 When you're done getting your books or anything you need out, close the
locker shut & turn it to zero and begin clearing it. But stop after you did it 2 or 3
times. It saves time.
 By clearing your locker instead of leaving it on the last number, it prevents
other people from opening it.
 If you can, practice opening a combination lock at home. The more you can
practice with this type of lock, the easier opening your locker at school will be.
 Keep your locker combination to yourself! Don’t give it away to anyone but
your advisory teacher.
