To create a healthy and successful learning environment in our classroom, we have a few basic rules:

1. Enter quietly and be ready to learn.
   
2. Use an inside voice.
   
3. Raise my hand and listen to others.
   
4. Stay on task and complete work.
5. Ignore inappropriate behavior.
   

Positive Consequences for Following the Rules:

1. Individual Acknowledgment
   
2. Individual Points
3. Class Points
   
4. Free Choice
   
5. Class Parties

Consequences for Bad Choices:

1. Name on Board  "I remind, you control."
2. Yellow Flag "I help you control."  Teacher take action, stay in at recess.
   
3. Red Flag "I teach you."  Stay in lunch recess and conference with teacher.
   
4. Student/Teacher Conference
5. Parent Conference
6. Principal's Office
   

• Label everything: Backpacks, clothing, and lunches all need to have first initials and last names on them.
• Lunch money: Can be paid on line or in the cafeteria.
• Tardies/Absences: Late students need to get a "late slip" from the office before coming to class. Absent students need to call or bring a note from home.
• Birthdays: To prevent hurt feelings, birthday invitations may not be distributed at school. Your child may celebrate his/her birthday at school by bringing a treat for all. Check with the teacher for appropriate times. Children with summer birthdays can celebrate half birthdays or can have a joint school party in June.
• Parent Volunteers: Must have fingerprints on file with the district. For safety reasons, all visitors including parent volunteers sign in at the office and wear a name tag while on campus during school hours.
• Conferences/Progress Reports: Conferences are held in the Fall and Spring. Additional conferences can be made by special arrangement with the teacher. Progress reports are given three times per semester.
