How is the classroom managed for behavior?

An individual behavior plan has been implemented for our classroom. Located 
on the back bulletin board, there are colored envelopes with various colored 
cards in them. (Please refer to the behavior code sheet for various 
meanings.) Each child has been assigned a number on their name tag located 
on their desk that corresponds with the same number envelope. This plan will 
be further discussed at our Parent Night. There is also a whole group 
incentive program. The children work together as a team to earn letters to 
my name or short phrase. When they earn all the letters, the class will vote 
what they would like from the classroom reward list which was created by 
them during the first week.

Can I bring in treats for birthdays?

Yes. A snack can be left in the main office on the pre-approved day by 
10:30. Just let me know a day or so ahead of time. The class will celebrate 
at lunch.

What is the Book-It Program?

It is a reading incentive program sponsored by Pizza Hut beginning in 
October and ending in March. (More details will follow.)

What if my child is going home with a friend or getting picked up?

A note is necessary if usual departure changes (parent pick-up/riding a 
different bus/getting off at another bus stop) or if your child is attending 
any of the after-school programs. It is also a good idea to let your child 
know of any changes on that day.

time.

Can I volunteer in my child's classroom?

Parents will be called upon to help out on trips, parties, and special 
projects. Please feel free to sign up for these 
activities at Parent Night.

Should my child bring snack?

Our class will have a brief snack in the late afternoon. Something quick, 
easy and healthy would be great. Please just send water, no juice or sports 
drinks.
