Welcome to Mrs. Stacie's fourth grade class! :-) I am excited about getting to
know all of my new students. It is going to be an excellent year...I can
already tell.
As a parent, you should be aware of the following classroom procedures:
1) Binders - Your child has a binder that is divided into subject areas. This
will help the students keep their notes, classwork, reference pages, and study
guides organized. It also contains a homework folder, which will contain
homework each night, Monday through Friday. This binder should come home and
then back to school every day. Please check your child's binder/homework
periodically to aid him/her and see what we are doing in class.
2) Agendas - Students are responsible for recording their tests and homework
in their agendas each day. It will be written for them to copy on a white
board in the classroom. Please initial the agenda each night (Monday through
Thursday) to show that you have seen the assignments for the night. I will
check the agendas each morning. A circled assignment means that homework is
either missing or late. I will also be checking for your initials/signature
every morning.
3) Homework - Any homework that is sent home each night, unless otherwise
instructed, will be due the next morning, complete and legible. If a student
does not complete any part of their assignment, he/she will miss recess for
the day and will work on the homework in study hall instead. Late work will
result in a deduction of 10 points. If the work is not turned in by the end of
the day it is due, the assignment will be ZERO points. This is grade-level
policy. If there are exceptional circumstances for a student not to have their
homework done (family tragedy, etc.) please let me know.
4) Snack - Students may bring their own small snack each day. It must be a
nutritious snack.
5) Behavior chart - Each child will be given a behavior chart each week that
will be kept on their desks all week. This behavior chart is designed to help
students with following school and classroom rules. The chart includes a list
of offenses, their codes, and the point deductions. Students start out with
100 points at the beginning of the week. Losing 5 or more points in one day
will result in a loss of recess time. These charts will be sent home in Monday
Folders and need to be returned, signed, Tuesday.
Please feel free to contact me regarding any questions or concerns you have.
You may write me a note, call at 731-587-2290, or email me (link provided on
the side of page). I look forward to spending this year with your child and
hope that it will be as enjoyable for them to learn as it is for me to teach
them!
