The following guidelines, procedures and policies will assist you through out the school year.  I am looking forward to a successful, academic enriching year.

topAbsences: If a student if absent he/she needs to bring a written note of excuse upon return to school.
For each day absent the student has time to make-up the assignments and tests

topBehavior and Discipline: Verbal Warning is given first.  Should a student continue to display behavior which is not in accordance with the posted classroom rules a check mark is given for each infraction.  When a student reaches 3 checks he/she is given a recess/ lunch recess detention and/or a pink slip as a consequence measure.

topCommunication with Parents : Verbal Warning is given first.  Should a student continue to display behavior which is not in accordance with the posted classroom rules a check mark is given for each infraction.  When a student reaches 3 checks he/she is given a recess/ lunch recess detention and/or a pink slip as a consequence measure.

Advance due dates will be given to the student. Agendas should be in class daily to write down assignments given throughout the day.

Please check periodically if your child is utilizing his/her agenda.
