Frequently Asked Questions: This page contains answers to common questions of students and parents.
Why does my child need to read each night?
We have the students read each night because, statistics show that children who spend time reading (or being read to) each day perform better on standardized tests and generally earn higher grades in school.Back to Top
Mrs. Kaczay uses "sticks" for classroom management of daily work habits and behavior. Each student begins the day with zero sticks and an "E" for excellent. If a student chooses to neglect homework or classwork, or he chooses not to follow our "essential agreements," he will be asked to "take a stick" which will lower his daily conduct grade to an S- (less than satisfactory). If a second stick is pulled in the same day, his conduct grade will be lowered to N (needs improvement). If the final stick is pulled, his grade will be U (unsatisfactory) and he will fill out a "think sheet" regarding his actions for the day, which he will bring home to share with you. This sheet should be signed and returned the next day.Back to Top
What time should students be at school?
Students may come to the classroom at 7:30. I recommend that students arrive in our class by 7:45, if possible. That gives them time to get their morning procedures taken care of before 8:00. It also allows them enough time to complete the morning assignments. If a student is behind on getting assignments completed, they may want to come at 7:30 to have some extra time to work.Back to Top
