Classroom rules and procedures?
We will follow the golden rule, "Treat others how you would like to be treated." I will treat my students with respect and in turn I expect respect to be reciprocated. We have a green, yellow,and red card system in our classroom. If rules are broken or tasks are not completed as assigned, parents will be informed via the Take Home folder.
Homework/Reading log?
A weekly newsletter/homework/behavior sheet will go home every Monday with the week's homework assignments listed. This sheet should stay in the folder all week and be initialed daily. Research shows that reading is most beneficial when it is done daily. Repitition is also a great way to learn to read. Therefore, reading the same books several times is a good idea. Leveled books will come home in a baggie along with a reading log for you to initial. In addition, each week your child will check out a new library book to share with you. You may send the books back in the bookbag whenever your child is finished with them. New leveled books will be replaced in the baggie and a new library book should come home once a week.
Attendance/ Transportation?
School begins promptly at 7:50. Please help your child be at school on time. The county will be strictly enforcing school attendance. When absences occur, a written excuse is requested. If you wish to change your child's transportation procedure, be sure to do so in writing. Otherwise, I will send the student home in the way which was agreed upon the first week of school. We strongly discourage calling the office at the end of the school day for transportation changes. Thank you!
Schedules?
Please know that parents are welcome any time in our classroom to observe or assist. For the safety of our students, all guests must sign in at the office. Feel free to eat lunch with your child at your leisure. The classroom schedule can be found on our classroom blog.
