Classroom+Policies+and+Procedures


 * Here are some important classroom policies you should know about:**


 * Dismissal: ** Dismissal changes must be confirmed with a written note. For the safety and security of all our students**,** we CANNOT send students home any way besides their confirmed dismissal way without written consent from parents/guardians or a phone call to the front office.


 * Class and School Rules: ** This school uses the 3 Rs for behavior; students are expected to be responsible, respectful, and ready to learn. In class, the school rules apply in addition to my three rules: respect yourself, respect others, respect our environment.

At the end of the week, students redeem their points for prizes including stickers, pencils, candy, good notes home, and prize passes with special privileges. It is vital that all students treat everyone at the school -adults and peers alike- with respect in order to create a safe, comfortable learning environment.
 * Classroom Rewards **Our classroom uses the Class Dojo points system, where students earn and lose points based on their behaviors.
 * **Points earned for:** || **Points taken away for:** ||
 * Teamwork || Calling out ||
 * Following Directions || Off Task ||
 * Participating || Disrespect ||
 * Hard Work || Distracting others ||
 * Improved Your Day || Talking after 1 ||
 * Being Awesome ||  ||


 * Communication: ** If you have any questions or concerns, or would like to request a conference at any time, feel free to contact me! The best way to contact me is through email or Remind; I can respond much more quickly to these methods of communication. If you choose to leave a voicemail, it may take up to 24 hours to respond.


 * Homework: **Homework is assigned Monday through Thursday of most regular weeks. Students have the option of turning it in daily or turning it in all at once; whichever method they choose, it **MUST** be in by Friday of the week it is assigned. In an effort to prepare them for middle school, late homework **WILL NOT** be accepted unless the student is absent on Friday or there are extenuating circumstances. Students are responsible for copying the homework every week and keeping up with the work.


 * Late Work: ** Work may be turned in one day late for a 5 point loss on the grade. Any assignments turned in later than one day **WILL NOT** be accepted unless the student was absent or there are extenuating circumstances.


 * Make-Up Work: **Students will have 3 days to complete any make-up work from days that they missed. It is the student's responsibility to get the work completed and turned in. Tests and quizzes will be made up the next day that the student is in attendance. Attendance is a critical part of your student's learning and they should strive to be here every day possible!
