Student Code of Ethics

As a valued student of The Motivational Edge, I will adhere to the following:

1. I will respect myself and respect all others because it is essential for success. Therefore; I will treat my peers, adults and superiors with respect, and will use appropriate and courteous language.  

2. A strong individual work ethic is necessary in order to strive for excellence and success! Therefore; I will try my very best during class at ME and at home.  I am always willing to perform at my highest level.  I know that all ME staff and members are here to help me succeed in life.

3. Showing up to school prepared is a vital part of the learning process and attendance is mandatory.
Therefore; I will show up to school prepared and not will miss more than 4 classes in any calendar year, unless it is approved by the administration of my school, parents/guardians or a doctor.

4. Trust is essential for relationships and for each student to excel.
Therefore; I will be loyal to all members of The Motivational Edge, including myself, and I will handle disagreements in an amicable way by getting a staff member to intervene. 

5. Fighting and roughhousing are unacceptable. Therefore; I will abstain from inappropriate physical behavior.  

6. Graciously accept constructive criticism that will make me a better person. Therefore; I will listen to and acknowledge constructive criticism whether it is given by a peer or staff member.  I will not be afraid to ask questions, and if I do not know something I will ask a staff member or peer.

Early Childhood Literacy Program
In Miami and many other urban areas, a great deal of children lack the phonics, phonemic awareness and other skills needed in order to prepare them to be a good reader. Without the proper building blocks of reading, many other areas of school will suffer.  This program targets struggling readers in order to bring them up to grade level and beyond.  It not only strengthens their reading ability, but also strengthens their moral and confidence to conquer all subjects.

After School Homework Program
Children complete homework assignments under the tutelage of a qualified educator in a pleasant, stress-free environment. Classes are differentiated by grade level from 1st - 12th grade.

With supervision by a well-qualified educator, this setting provides extra opportunity for personalized instruction. Students are grouped according to grade level and subject area.
