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.
