*Homework*
Any missing assignment will result in a homework notice. The homework notice MUST be signed by a parent and the COMPLETED assignment returned to school the next day. Five missing or late assignments per trimester will result in a detention.
*Discipline Policy*
The 3rd-5th grade teachers will use a behavior card system to maintain appropriate behavior in the classroom. Students will begin each day with a green card. If a student behaves inappropriately, he or she will be given a warning, which results in changing the card from green to yellow. If any further inappropriate behavior occurs, he/she will change his/her card to red.
In the event that a student changes his/her card to red, he/she will have to fill out a “Think Slip” explaining what happened and how he/she intends to correct the behavior. This Think Slip will be sent home and must be signed by a parent.
Inappropriate behaviors that can lead to a yellow or red card include anything deemed as disrespectful to others or disruptive to the group. This includes but is not limited to a violation of the posted classroom rules, being unprepared for class, talking out of turn, leaving desk without permission, rough play, etc. Any behaviors that hinder the promotion of a positive environment will lead to a yellow card, and in serious cases, the card may be moved directly to red. If a student has already received a red card/filled out a Think Slip during the day and continues to misbehave, he or she will fill out an additional Think Slip. Every 5 Think Slips accrued per trimester will result in a detention.
Students who keep their cards green for the entire month will be invited to participate in our monthly reward party.
