Tiger Rules are universal school-wide rules that will be followed by EVERYONE in ALL LOCATIONS at ALL TIMES:
Touching others with your hands, feet, or any object is unacceptable.

Gather materials and have them ready when needed.
Everyone will do their personal best.
Respect others by using kind words and actions.
Beliefs related to Discipline at Tekoppel:
We believe:
• it is essential for teachers and staff to explicitly communicate, teach, and model appropriate behaviors that are expected of all Tekoppel students.
• it is critical for parents to be involved to ensure that their children are using appropriate behaviors. Parents play a vital role in creating a safe, orderly, and productive learning environment for all Tekoppel Students.
• students should be held accountable for their actions.
• students should receive appropriate acknowledgment for using appropriate behavior.
• one student's misbehavior should not be allowed to interfere with the learning opportunities of other students and should not excuse him/her from successfully completing the learning objectives.
• that if teachers, staff, and parents work together to teach the P.R.I.D.E. expectations, and are consistent with their enforcement, the appropriate behaviors will become a habit. Once these behaviors become a habit, they will become a part of each student's character.
