STUDENT COMMITMENT

I fully commit to MILW COLLEGE PREP in the following ways:
1. I will always work, think, and behave in the most proactive and best way I know how. I will do whatever it takes for me and my fellow students to learn. This also means that I will complete all my homework every night to the best of my ability, and I will raise my hand and ask questions in class if I do not understand something.
2. I will always make myself available to parents, teachers, and any concerns they might have. If I make a mistake, this means I will tell the truth to my teachers and accept responsibility for my actions.
3. I will always behave so as to protect the safety, interests, and rights of all individuals in the classroom. This also means that I will always listen to all my MILW COLLEGE PREP teammates and give everyone my respect.
4. I will wear the MILW COLLEGE PREP uniform each day.
5. I will do everything in my power to arrive at MILW COLLEGE PREP on time.
6. I am responsible for my own behavior, and I will follow the teachers’ directions.
7. I have read and understand the policies and expectations stated in the handbook.

   Failure to follow these commitments will cause me to lose various privileges, and could lead to returning to home from school.
