Class Rules and Policies

Class Rules:
Be safe.
Be responsible.
Be respectful.

Consequences:
Students not following Caraway rules will earn a consequence. Each student 
has a behavior sheet for every nine weeks that will be kept in a folder in 
the classroom. If a student is warned more than once for a particular 
behavior, I will sign the behavior folder and list the behavior and 
consequence for that behavior. Every Monday the behavior folder will be sent 
home with the Monday folder for you to view. Please initial so that I know 
you have acknowledged the signing. Behavior folders will be returned to class 
on Tuesday. 
Students need to try to stay above the "good behavior line" on the behavior 
sheet. Each 9 weeks, the behavior line moves up, allowing less signatures, as 
we expect that all 4th graders know appropriate behavior.

Rewards:
Students will be rewarded for outstanding behavior with class tickets. 
Tickets will be redeemed on a chosen day for prizes given by the teacher. 
Students are also rewarded with "Owl Awards" by any teacher in the school 
when he/she exemplifies the three rules listed above. Those awards will be 
put in a drawing for something special to be decided by Mrs. Vrazel, Hohmann 
and Laskowski. Students will also be rewarded with a 9 weeks party if they 
have no signatures below the "good behavior line" on the behavior sheet.
(See "Consequences" section.)

Daily Assignment:
Daily assignments will be given a grade unless otherwise noted. Some projects 
will be given a for the entire project rather than for individual parts.
Any daily assignment not finished in class is homework unless the student 
decides to utilize study hall to get caught up. If a student take homework, 
please assume it is due the next day.


Homework and Planners:
Students will be assigned homework throughout the week. Students may also 
have homework that resulted from unfinished class assignments. Every student 
is responsible for writing down homework assignments in their daily planner. 
The planner must be signed nightly by a parent to show that the parent and 
student was aware of any assigned homework or other things that need to be 
returned to school the next day. Students will also use the planner as a 
reminder to study for a test or any other upcoming event. Any missing 
homework will result in the teacher signing the behavior folder. Students 
will also be excused from recess the day homework is due to allow the 
students to make up the homework.

Other information:
Tardies are counted after 7:45. A child will be counted absent if they are 
not present by 9:00. A doctor's note will be used to excuse the absence.
If your child is sick, please notify me or Mrs. Richards in the office on the 
day of the absence if possible, or send a note with your child when he/she 
returns to school.
