Parents:
I am looking forward to an exciting year filled with fun and LOTS of learning! In order for all students to have a safe environment conducive to learning, I have developed the following Discipline Plan.
I have discussed these Rules/Rewards/Consequences with my students. Please read and discuss this plan again with your child, sign and return only the back page. Keep this letter for future reference. I appreciate all that you do to support our classroom policies.
Classroom rules:
1. Work and talk quietly; do not disturb others.
2. Listen and follow directions.
3. Be kind in your words and actions.
4. Be on your best behavior outside the classroom (cafeteria, hallway, bathroom, etc.)
Rewards:
Students will be rewarded for good behavior by receiving special privileges--extra computer time, free choice time, no homework, special activity, etc. Students who demonstrate exemplary work and behavior will be allowed to bring $2 and go to canteen on Friday.
Consequences:
I want you to be able to know immediately when you open your child's agenda if we had any problems during the day. I will put a colored sticker in your child's agenda if he/she pulls any tickets. The color of the sticker will let you know the offense. The colors are as follows:
Not working quietly; disturbing others
Not listening; not following directions
Unkind words or actions
Inappropriate behavior outside the classroom
Please check your child's agenda every day and sign under the stickers.
If your child breaks a rule:
1st ticket--conference with teacher, 5 min. time-out/loss of privilege
2nd ticket--conference with teacher, 10 min. time-out/loss of privilege
3rd ticket--notify parent, student in isolation
4th ticket-- student sent to Principal's office, parents called, punishment will be
determined by administration and teacher
**Please note: repeated offences and/or extreme misbehavior will result in an
automatic yellow card, office visit, or parent phone call.
*Please remember that this cycle begins new each day!!!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at school (731-686-0840). Thank you in advance for your support. I look forward to a wonderful year!
