Non Negotiables - As we begin the New Year we wanted to continue to remind everyone of what we are committed to at Lakeside Middle School. 
  1. Cell Phones - Must be off and in lockers while in LMS
  2. Profanity - Both indirect and direct profanity will not be tolerated
  3. Disrespect - Students will demonstrate respect towards others, staff, and school environment at all times
  4. Back and Forth - Students will accept the response of the staff member without negotiation 
  5. School Dress Code - Students will be dressed appropriately at all times 
  6. Hallways - Students will walk to the right, keep their hands and feet to themselves, keep voices down, and walk at all times


Script to be read in the beginning of each class, "In this school, we expect that you will follow our non-negotiables. We do not use cell phones, we respect each other, we are dressed appropriately, and we do not use profanity.”

Script to be read at the end of each class, "As we begin our day remember that before we enter the hallways, we walk to the right, we keep our hands and feet to ourselves and we keep our voices down.”
