Use “Please” and “Thank You”
Thank you for sending school supplies. The zipper pouch and crayons will stay in the student’s desk. The paper, glue, pencils, scissors, tissue, and folders will be taken up and handed out as needed to minimize waste. You should not have to send anymore school supplies until very late in the year, if at all. Students have 4 bathroom breaks everyday, about every 2 hours. 1. Before morning bell 2. Mid-morning 3. Lunch 4. Mid-afternoon Kids should use our ‘bathroom’ hand signal so there is no disruption if there is an emergency in class. (make a fist, put the thumb between first two fingers and turn fist side-to-side) Students are usually able to manage their bathroom break times without going during class.

 * Behavior Clips **

=
The clothespins are clipped to the left and right edges of the Ready to Learn level of the chart. During the course of the day, the clothespins move up and down the chart based upon the behavioral choices each student makes. Good behavior causes the clothespin to move up one level. Conversely, inappropriate behavior will cause the clothespin to move down one level. =====

__**Parent Contact**__- Phone call is made to discuss behavior choices in detail
Notes Home
 * When a student’s card is on BLUE there will be a Note Home explaining his or her behavior for that day. Please discuss it with your child, sign the Note Home and return it to school. **


 * Consequences for Notes Home: (//per calendar month//) **
 * __ 1 note __ – Loss of classroom privileges for one week. **
 * __ 2 notes in a month __ – Loss of classroom privileges for another week and a Parent-Teacher meeting to discuss behavior and determine appropriate action. **
 * __ 3 notes in a month __ – Loss of classroom privileges for another week and a Parent-Teacher-Principal meeting to discuss behavior and determine appropriate action. **


 * If problems continue, other methods will be used to help the student. The parents, teacher, guidance counselor, and principal will all be involved in this process. **


 * Many parents have found that behavior improves after a Note Home when there are consistent consequences at school //and// at home. Some parents have taken privileges such as video games or T.V. time or used other discipline methods as consequences for Notes Home from school. **

Assignment Books
 * Students will write homework assignments in their assignment books at the end of each school day. At home, students should do the work and parents should sign the assignment book. The book is to let the parents know what is going on at school, behavior card color, homework assignment and any notes from the teacher. **

A parent's regular signature is appreciated instead of just initials. Thank you.

//The assignment book is also an excellent way to ask a question or write a note to the teacher, as I will check for a parent’s signature and notes each morning//.
