Behavior Expectations
As a team, we will work together to help your child understand
there are rules that they are expected to follow daily. Classroom
rules are based on the principles of respect to your teachers and
peers (be polite and keep hands and feet to self) and responsibility
for self (complete class work and homework daily).
Our preference is to reward good behavior and redirect
misguided behavior. Incentive programs will vary by classroom.
Your child is responsible for getting his/her behavior folder
initialed every evening by parent/guardian. It is your child’s
responsibility to have you check the behavior folder every evening.
Behavior Expectations
If a student chooses to break a classroom rule, he/she will
receive classroom consequences. Consequences for choosing to
break a rule include:
Warning/Verbal Redirection
Sign Behavior log or move clip and time off recess.
Note to parent in behavior folder and loss of recess.
Parent-Teacher Conference and Office Referral if
necessary.
*Severe disruptions by student will result in immediate
referral to the office. Severe disruptions include fighting,
stealing, bullying, and disrespect or lack of cooperation to an
adult.
