  • Independence Day at Monticello (.Pdf
    INDEPENDENCE DAY AT MONTICELLO JULY 2017 “The only birthday I ever commemorate is that of our Independence, the Fourth of July.” - Margaret Bayard Smith quoting Thomas Jefferson, 1801 There is no more inspirational place to celebrate the Fourth of July than Monticello, the home of the author of the Declaration of Independence. Since 1963, more than 3,000 people from every corner of the globe have taken the oath of citizenship at the annual Monticello Independence Day Celebration and Naturalization Ceremony. Jefferson himself hoped that Americans would celebrate the Fourth of July, what he called “the great birthday of our Republic,” to “refresh our collections of [our] rights, and undiminished devotion to them.” The iconic West Lawn of Monticello provides a glorious setting for a ceremony steeped in patriotic elements. “Monticello is a beautiful spot for this, full as it is of the spirit that animated this country’s foundation: boldness, vision, improvisation, practicality, inventiveness and imagination, the kind of cheekiness that only comes from free-thinking and faith in an individual’s ability to change the face of the world — it’s easy to imagine Jefferson saying to himself, “So what if I’ve never designed a building before? If I want to, I will...” - Excerpt from Sam Waterston’s remarks at Monticello, 2007 It is said that we are a nation of immigrants. The list of those who have delivered the July 4th address at Monticello is a thoroughly American story. In 1995 there was Roberto Goizueta, the man who fled Cuba with nothing but an education and a job, and who rose to lead one of the best known corporations: The Coca-Cola Company.

    APPENDIX A SECTION VIII – STUDENTS ARTICLE III STUDENT CONDUCT AND DISCIPLINE POLICY 8-3.1 STUDENT CONDUCT Student Rights Every student has the right to be educated in a safe, respectful and inviting environment and a responsibility not to deny this right to any other student. The school shall protect the rights of students to attend school and participate in all activities of the school. It is the responsibility of the School Board of the City of Richmond and the administration to issue regulations establishing rules of conduct from student behavior in order to protect the health, safety and welfare of its students. It is imperative that each student exercise responsible conduct in accordance with the rules and regulations that have been established by Richmond Public Schools. General Conduct Students are expected to maintain positive conduct that is consistent with the following Guiding Principles, including, but not limited to: 1. Respect; 2. Responsibility; 3. Appreciation of differences; 4. Honesty; 5. Safety; and 6. Lifelong learning. To that end, each school is expected to develop and implement a school-wide Positive Behavior Support and Discipline Plan. The plan will be aligned with the Richmond Public Schools Standards of Student Conduct. Within the plan, conduct issues are to be addressed by implementing proactive strategies to provide positive behavior support. These include defining and teaching behavioral expectations, acknowledging and reinforcing appropriate behavior, developing a continuum of responses for problem behavior and reviewing and analyzing discipline data to evaluate the effectiveness of the plan. When a student ceases to maintain acceptable conduct, the school shall make every effort to support the student in developing improved behavior through conferences and close contact with the student’s parent or guardian, and through the use of all available school and community resources.
