Communication Rule
♦ Communication Rule ♦
Here at East Woods, located in every classroom, and in the Main Office, is a poster for student use entitled, "Communication Rule". This "Rule" is first introduced to all students on the first day of school during the opening morning assemblies, and then the "Communication Rule" poster is reviewed throughout the year with the students by their homeroom teachers.
So, the next time your child comes home, and is upset over a situation with another student, ask them if they used all the steps in the "Communication Rule" . It's a powerful tool.
Communication Rule
Put your hand out and say:
Stop it.
I don't like it when you (list action) .
It makes me (mad, angry, upset, like I don't want to be your friend, etc) .
If the person continues, say:
I asked you to please stop it.
If you don't, I'm going to get an adult.
If you need to get an adult, say:
Excuse me, Mrs./Mr. (Teacher's/Adult's name) , I need some help.
