BEHAVIOR
Students in the intermediate grades are held to a high standard of
behavior. Respect for self and others is stressed. We believe our policy
stresses the importance of self-discipline, is age appropriate, and child-
centered. Students track and monitor their behavior by receiving three
tokens to keep in their desk. Students will lose a token when there is a
rule infraction. Students are usually given a verbal warning before a token
is lost. Weekly progress reports will reflect student behavior for the
week. When tokens are lost, the student will conference with Dr.
Koberlein. Serious rule infractions will result in implementation of the
all school discipline policy. (See handbook.) All students will start the
week with three tokens - a fresh start!
HOMEWORK
Students will keep track of all assignments in their notebooks. These are
kept at their desks throughout the day. Students are required to write down
the assignments as they are given. About 45-60 minutes of homework will be
assigned each night. Weekends will be lighter! They may still need
assistance in cheking over and proofreading their work.
Study skills are taught in the classroom to practice at home. When they are
finished studying it is then appropriate for a parent to quiz or review with
the student.
If you notice your child struggling to complete homework, please call.
Quizzes, tests, projects, and book reports will consist of two-thirds of the
student's grade. The remaining third will account for the daily work and
homework.
