Classroom Rules
In order to have an environment where maximum learning can take place, the students will be expected to follow rules:
- Listen carefully
- Follow directions
- Respect others
- Respect school property
- Work and play safely
Discipline Plan
Great behaviior is expected and will be recognized. When a child chooses to break a rule, there is a consequence. The child will first be given a verbal warning. If the behavior continues, the child will be given a second warning and be removed from the situation. Repeated misbehavior will result in a written intervention and a conference with parents/guardian. Other consquences may be used depending on the individual student and the type of misbehavior.
Grading Scale
Each student is an individual and will be graded accordingly. Academic grades will be based on classroom assessments. Cooperative group projects will be assessed individually. Student behaviors will not be included in academic grades. Student behaviors will be noted in the behavior standards and comments section of the report card. Students with assignments missing will be given an Incomplete until the necessary work is completed. The terms Beginning, Developing and Secure will be used for both the academic and behavioral sections of the report card.
Assignment Notebook and Friday Folder
- Assignment notebooks need to be signed nightly by a parent or guardian. This will help your child become more organized.
- Each Friday all students will be taking home a folder containing the graded work from the week and a weekly review sheet listing any notable behaviors or late work. This sheet needs to be signed by a parent or guardian and returned the follwing Monday.
Reading
Students will have a 20-30 minute silent reading period each day They must have a book for this purpose at all times.
Scholastic Book Club orders will be given out each month. If you would like to order books, please send the exact amount of cash or a check made out to SCHOLASTIC BOOK CLUB.
Snack Break
Students will have a short break each day. Children who pay for milk will drink it during this time. Students may bring their own healthy snacks from home. Students should eat what they bring for themselves. If students want to share their snacks, they must share with the entire class.
Homework
Homework will vary. Students may have between 20-60 minutes of homework each night. Each child should read or be read to 20 minutes nightly.
