Kamiak is for every student and every family, every day. We are excited that you are here, that you will grow into your best self, and that from your experiences at Kamiak you will stretch yourself, be prepared for the next steps after high school, and make our communities a better, more inclusive place. It all starts by seeing and treating one another with dignity, respect, and mutual care. AT KAMIAK, WE BELIEVE THAT: 1) Our students’ and staff’s diversity are a quality to be valued, respected, and celebrated. 2) Students excel in a safe and positive climate that promotes trust, empathy, respect, and collaboration. 3) Students must have equitable access to a rigorous and relevant curriculum. 4) Student learns differently; and understanding and addressing the individual needs of students while building upon their strengths will result in high levels of student achievement. 5) We must use our resources to meet the needs of all students. 6) Strong relationships between students, staff, and families ensure student academic and socio- emotional needs are understood and addressed effectively. 7) Families (parents/guardians) are strategic partners in the success of students. 8) We need to empower families in our partnership in order to ensure student-centered engagement. 9) Effective communication is two-way and must support cultural and language needs. As we continue to grow as a community, we invite you to be part of all of the amazing things here at Kamiak. The following pages help you learn about our traditions, connect with different resources, and understand the culture of our school.

We ASPIRE to these ways of acting and being in a Learning Community, whether in-person or virtually: A Act and speak with positive intent, respect* for others, and integrity. S See the humanity and dignity in each other and self. P Participate actively and fully by engaging in the learning environment and independent activities. I Imagine the possibilities through flexible and creative thinking. R Respect the learning space by being engaged, prepared to learn, and open to other perspectives. E Engage in academic scholarship responsibly, honestly, and with integrity. *Respect means “mutual regard for and understanding towards others’ feelings, beliefs, values, and traditions.” STUDENT EXPECTATIONS IN VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS Virtual learning environments include any type of online classroom (synchronous learning) and Schoology. In addition to ASPIRE behaviors, remember our virtual learning expectations: . Use only positive and school-appropriate language, actions, and imaging in all virtual interactions, whether on discussion boards or in video learning. Use the chat function and other messaging functions respectfully and according to district requirements. See p. ##. Use approved images as virtual background. Use only appropriate and uplifting photos (or Bitmojis) of self to represent your Zoom and Schoology profiles. Use your actual first and last name to display your virtual profile. Participate fully in all activities. Keep video conferencing (Zoom) logins confidential and off the internet and social media. Only participate in assigned video conferences.
