Student Responsibilities
Our Ukrainian Saturday school is a community where every student plays a part in building an environment of respect, safety, and love for the Ukrainian language and culture. Below are simple guidelines that make our Saturday school a positive and meaningful experience for everyone.



1. Attendance & Punctuality
-
Arrive on time and be prepared for lessons.
-
Try to attend classes regularly so you don’t fall behind.
-
If you can’t come, ask your parents to notify the school/teacher in advance.
2. Respect & Behavior
-
Respect teachers, classmates, and school staff.
-
Listen when someone is speaking — don't interrupt or distract others from learning.
-
Take care of school property: classrooms, textbooks, the library, and equipment.
3. Ukrainian Language at School
-
Try to speak Ukrainian during lessons and school events.
-
Don’t be afraid of mistakes: making mistakes is part of learning (especially if Ukrainian is an inherited language).
-
Be open to corrections and advice — it helps you speak better.
4. Academic Responsibility
-
Complete homework (if assigned) and bring necessary materials.
-
Stay engaged in class: read, write, participate in discussions and projects.
-
Ask for help if something is difficult — that's exactly what teachers are here for.
5. Safety at School
-
Follow the rules in hallways and shared spaces: walk safely, don’t push, and pay attention.
-
Have fun during breaks — just make sure everyone, including you, stays safe.
-
Stay in designated areas and follow the guidance of supervising adults.
6. Participation in School Life
-
Take part in school events, performances, and projects — they're a core part of our learning and traditions.
-
Older students are encouraged to support younger ones and volunteer during school events.

The bottom line: Respect others, give your best effort, speak Ukrainian — and your Saturday won't feel like "just another class." It'll be a place where you actually grow.
