Dear Students and Families of Yelm Community Schools,

As we get ready for the new school year, we are excited to share our new Rights and Responsibilities Handbook with you. This handbook is designed to create a safe, successful, and happy school experience for everyone.

Safety is our top priority. The handbook includes important information about moving around the school, what to do in emergencies, and how to show respect and kindness to everyone. We want every student to feel safe and cared for.

Academics are a key part of your school journey. The handbook offers helpful tips on managing your time, effective study habits, and ways to succeed in your classes. We want to give you the tools you need to do your best.

We also know how important social-emotional well-being is. The handbook talks about building positive relationships, showing empathy, and taking care of yourself. It has resources for handling stress and emotional challenges, ensuring we have a supportive community for everyone.

By following the guidelines in the Rights and Responsibilities Handbook, we can create a school environment where safety, learning, and well-being all come together. This will help you thrive both in and out of the classroom.

We encourage you to go through the handbook together as a family and talk about its contents. Knowing these guidelines will help make your school experience smooth and enjoyable.

If you have any questions or concerns, we are here to help. Our goal is to build a safe, nurturing, and vibrant educational community at Yelm Community Schools.

We look forward to a fantastic academic year filled with growth, learning, and memorable experiences. Let’s work together to make this school year great!
