| Classroom Rules/Discipline Policy
I believe that we are a classroom community and it is important to have
rules and guidelines.
Classroom Rules:
1. Listen carefully.
2. Follow directions.
3. Work quietly. Do not disturb others who are working.
4. Respect others. Be kind with your words and actions.
5. Respect school and personal property.
6. Work and play safely.
7. Raise your hand when you want to answer a question or share
something with the class.
8. Do your best at all times!
If a child chooses to break our rules and/or prevent optimum learning for
others, I have set up a “Stoplight Policy”: green is great, yellow is a
warning and red is a note home. Children are encouraged to Be Green! Green
is Great!
Rewards
Single Child: When a child is caught exhibiting good character in the
classroom or in the school, he or she will receive a Gotcha ticket. Each
Gotcha ticket a child receives will be placed in our classroom Gotcha jar.
Several times a year Mr. Madancy chooses names from the Gotcha jar in each
classroom and we have a Character Assembly recognizing students who have shown
good character. These children get their picture taken and it is placed on our
schoolwide Character Wall of Fame.
Whole Class: On the front board, we will begin a “Compliment Chain”. When
the class is following the rules and /or receives a positive comment from
another person such as another teacher an adult in the building, the
principal, or superintendent, the class will receive a link or links on the
chain. Once the chain reaches the bottom of the blackboard, the class will
be able to choose a class reward.
Policies and Procedures
1. Lunch can be purchased daily. Please direct any questions regarding
purchasing lunch to the cafeteria.
2. We will have a short nutritional snack in the morning. Juice boxes are
allowed. NO CANDY or SODA. Please identify the snack and what your child
should eat, as children sometimes confuse snack with lunch. As we are
concerned about good nutrition, please make every effort to enclose a
healthy snack. Children are allowed to purchase snack/milk from the
kitchen.
3. A note is required when your child returns to school after an absence,
even if you've called the school.
4. A note must be sent to indicate if your child is to go home with another
child or parent, grandparent, or if he/she is to walk home instead of taking
the bus. Your child's safety is of primary concern.
5. A note must be sent if your child is to leave school before the regular
dismissal time.
6. Children should line up at their classroom door each day.
7. NO stuffed animals, dolls, toys, or trading cards of any kind are
permitted.
8. Children are encouraged to bring books from home to keep in their desk
so that they may read them in class during free time. (2 new books each
week)
9. Each child should have a "Take-Home" folder. This folder will help
organize papers for parents and papers for children. This folder is to come
to school with your child every day.
10. All money must come to school in an envelope labeled with the activity
and your name.
11. Please help your child get to school on time. Have him/her get
everything ready the night before. Remember, 3 tardies = 1 absence.
12. All parents are required to sign in at the office when entering the
school for any reason.
