Do you give homework?

Not usually, but unfinished classwork is sometimes sent home to 
finish. 
Students usually have a weekly reading log to do throughout the 
week as well.

All graded work (and most practice) is in the graded paper folder 
which is 
sent home once a week.

What is the discipline management plan?

Each child starts the day with their clip in purple. Each time a 
rule is 
broken the student moves their clip from purple to green to 
yellow, or to 
red. Each move of the clip is also losing one point off the 
conduct and 5 
minutes of recess lost as well.Discipline notes are often sent 
home when a 
student signs the book repeatedly.

Do I have to sign the reading log everyday?

Students must read for 60 minutes on the reading log each week.  
Everytime 
something is recorded on the log a parent/guardian must sign it.

Do students get a grade for AR tests?

AR is not graded unless the teacher has read the novel in the 
classroom with 
the class.  The teacher may then require the student to take the 
AR test and 
record that grade.  Rewards are given for participating in AR and 
is 
strongly encouraged.

Can I eat lunch with my child?

Sure, come a minute or so early so you can sign in at the office 
and then 
wait on one of our benches to meet them and join them in the 
cafeteria.

Is it necessary to sign the planner every night?

Yes, it is! That is is our best resource for communication with 
you! We will 
try very hard to put all important information in that planner -- 
regarding 
individual items of business as well as school happenings, 
assignments, 
tests, and special events. Behavior/discipline for the day is 
also marked in 
the planner.
