RHINEBECK RESPECT

Over the past two years, the RHS faculty has worked with the Center for Social and Emotional Education (CSEE) out of Columbia University to find ways to support and improve upon our already positive school climate.  As you may remember, part of our work included surveying students, parents, and faculty regarding their perceptions.

     Having digested the results of the survey and having worked with experts from CSEE, Rhinebeck High School will began a program entitled Rhinebeck Respect.   We started by articulating with students and with our school community one aspect of what makes our school unique.  In short, it is the concept of Respect.  As expressed in one of the district’s core values, “We respect and honor the dignity and worth of ourselves, others, and our environment.”

     By emphasizing and externalizing the idea of respect of self, others, and the environment, we hope to create a touchstone and a shared vision among the whole school community which will enable us to promote and celebrate our school climate--one in which every member is treated with honor and dignity.

     In this endeavor it will be critical that the adults in our community continue to model the idea of respect, and in this, as always we look forward to your continued support!

THE RHINEBECK RESPECT AWARD

Recipients of the Rhinebeck Respect are individuals who live up to our core value of respect in their performance in and outside of the classroom, in the daily example they set, in the way they treat others, in the respect they earn, and/or in their treatment of our environment.  Students are nominated by faculty or by non-instructional support staff, and in addition to being publically recognized, receive a token of the school's appreciation supported by the PTSO.
