“FAMILY VALUES”

1.	TREAT OTHERS THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED! 
1a.  This would included being respectful to yourself and those around you 
by making sure you do not interfere with the learning of others. Examples of 
this would include raising your hand to ask a question, make a comment, or 
to ask for help, using appropriate voice level, refraining from unnecessary 
talking, and treating books and equipment with care.
1b.  This value also includes being courteous at all times.  Be to class on 
time, enter quietly and courteously, take your seat immediately and get 
started in the morning.  Make sure to greet Mrs. Miller and your classmates 
with a smile and a ‘hello’, use manner words and be a good friend.
   
2.	BE THE BEST STUDENT YOU CAN BE!
2a.  This would include being prepared for class.  Make sure to bring all 
necessary books, homework, Link to Learning Binder, and school supplies 
daily. This also includes having the agenda signed nightly, reading log 
signed and turned in on Mondays, and calendar signed each weekend.
2b.  This value also includes being a contributor to our classroom family.  
Students should make positive contributions to the class by participating in 
discussions, volunteering to answer questions or to help others, and 
possessing a positive attitude towards others and anything we do as a 
classroom family.
 
3.	BE RESPONSIBLE!
3a.  This would include using class time wisely.  Begin assigned work 
immediately and finish required work before engaging in other activities.  
Always do your best work, but be sure you are working at a pace that allows 
you to finish on time.
3b.  This value also includes following directions and being a good 
listener.  
3c.  Last, but not least, take responsibility for your own actions.  Making 
a mistake is a part of life, everyone does it, but be sure to accept 
responsibility for your choices!

These values serve as a covenant that we make to one another as members of a 
family.  By following this basic oath we can be sure that each of us has the 
best learning experience possible.

Consequences for choosing not to follow the FAMILY VALUES:  
If a student chooses to break a rule, their consequence could be, but are 
not limited to the following:

First offense:  Warning and reminders are given for first offense in regards 
to talking, behavior, and other class choices if possible.  
Second offense:  A number is given on their monthly calendar, which is used 
to calculate their work habits grade.  While I expect numbers on their 
calendars (as no one is perfect), repetitive numbers will be reflected in 
their grade.
Repeated offenses:  A small time out of class participation/recess is given 
when needed to allow the student to think about their actions and focus 
their thoughts.  A written explanation of the choice to the teacher and 
parent(s) will aid them in their thought process at times.  Other possible 
consequences will be given, as determined by the teacher in cooperation with 
the parents.  Administration will be involved if necessary.

Rewards for choosing to follow the FAMILY VALUES:
When a student chooses to follow the FAMILY VALUES, work hard, show great 
effort, do their homework, have a great attitude, and/or improve in class 
work/behavior, many rewards are earned.  Some of these rewards include 
encouraging words, a giant smile, a note from the teacher, special 
recognitions such as Student of the Week, Appreciations, etc…  Remember, the 
best reward for a classroom filled with super students is an enjoyable, 
interesting, and challenging class.
