Classroom Discipline: Mr. Yamato Dear Parent, I am delighted that _____________________________ is in my class this semester. With your encouragement, your child will participate in and enjoy many exciting and rewarding experiences this academic year. Since lifelong success depends in part on learning to make responsible choices, I have developed a classroom discipline plan that will guide every student to make good decisions about his or her behavior. Your child deserves the most positive educational climate possible for his/her growth, and I know that together we will make a difference in the process. The plan below outlines our classroom rules, positive recognition for appropriate behavior and consequences for inappropriate behavior. They are: Rules: 1. Eat and drink outside the classroom. 2. Have all electronic devices off while in class. 3. Be prepared and on time for class (bring appropriate materials and be in your seat when the bell rings). 4. Respect people and classroom property (don’t interrupt when someone else is speaking). 5. No profanity, teasing or yelling. 6. Follow directions and wait for teacher dismissal. Consequences: If a student chooses to break a rule, however, the following steps will be taken: First time a student breaks a rule: Second time: Third time: Fourth time: Warning Stay in after class Call Home Removal/Referral to office Severe Disruption Removal/Referral to office With regards to Electronic Devices (Cellphones, music players, etc.): The device will be taken away and returned to the student at a later time by the administration. With regards to Dress Code Violations: 1) Hats and hoods must be removed while in class. Hats will be taken away after the first warning and returned at a later time. 2) Offensive attire (logos/themes/showing of mid-drift, wearing tank-tops, showing cleavage, etc.), the student will be sent to the office to arrange appropriate clothing. Be assured that my goal is to work with you to ensure the success of your child this year. Please read and discuss this classroom discipline plan with your child and return the form below. Feel free to call me anytime you’d like to talk something over at (909) 397-4400.
