get out of their seats.
• To get the teacher’s attention students should raise their hand.
• Students are to use the bathroom and get water only after receiving
permission from the teacher. If they have a bathroom emergency or
need a drink of water students should use the appropriate hand
signal. Water bottles are allowed.

have sharpened 4 pencils, copied posted homework, read any
morning messages, gather materials for the day. They must be
prepared to transition to their first class by 7:55.

Homework
Homework

• 100 points are earned for submitting homework. Points will be
deducted for late work (15pts.), unless a parent gives a valid
explanation for the missing assignment in writing (i.e. family
emergencies) Students must have first and last name on
assignments to receive full credit.
• The students are responsible for copying their homework in their
agenda books everyday.
• A communication folder will go home each Wednesday and returned
the next school day for 100 points; 15 are deducted if late; 50 points
if returned without a signature, but can get it signed for 85 points; a
grade of 0 if not returned by the following Wednesday.
Classwork
Classwork and Tests
• Students are expected to complete all assignments.
Some assignments are given for assessment purposes.
Some assignments will be sent home.
• There will usually be at least a three day notice for
upcoming tests. Pop quizzes can be given without prior
notice.
Grading and Absences
Grading and Absences
• Students who are considered lawfully absent will have
the opportunity to make up missed assignments.
Students are required to bring a written note from
parents for all absences. The number of days allowed to
make-up missed work will be equivalent to the number of
days of lawful absences. The timeline begins when the
teacher gives the student the assignments within 48
hours of the request. Students who do not complete the
missed assignments within the allotted time will receive
50% for each assignment.
Standards
Third Grade Class Expectations

We have adopted the PBIS program at Heather Hills Elementary School this year. It is a
school-wide program that fosters positive behaviors at our school. The 3 R’s
(Respectful, Responsible, and Ready to Learn) outline the positive behaviors that
foster a positive and safe learning environment.
“As Mustangs we show pride by being Respectful, Responsible, and Ready to Learn!”
Standards
Rewards/Consequences
We are following Heather Hills PBIS Program. Students receive
Mustang Money as a reward for displaying the 3 R’s. Students
save their “money” to cash it in for a reward once a month.
The initiative is school wide and students can receive Mustang
Money from any school staff member. *Teachers may also
have individual methods for rewarding student achievement,
behavior, and work habits.
*All students are held accountable for these standards
throughout the school building. If students do not meet these
expectations in other teachers’ classes, the cafeteria, recess,
in the hallways, etc. they will receive the outlined
consequences in their homeroom classes.
