• Today we will discuss how self-managers behave
during unstructured time. Students are expected
to safe, responsible, and respectful at all times,
especially on the bus and at lunch.

good choices on the bus and at lunch. We also
know that when students don’t make good
choices on the bus or at lunch it can become a
safety concern that affects ALL of us at Rowe.

9. Self-Manager Self Reflection
In the back to your self-manager guide, you’ll find your
self-evaluation from the beginning of the week.
Write a goal for yourself in ONE area.
For example, “I will develop my self-management skills
by getting to class on time.”
OR “I will help others become stronger self-managers by
reminding my friends to clean up at the lunch table.”
