Classroom Policies and Procedures

HOMEWORK

Homework will be given on a weekly basis. Homework will be considered LATE if received after Friday (10 pts. will be taken off). It is worth 45% of the total grade. PLEASE ensure that your child completes and turns in ALL homework assignments. Some homework assignments require additional supplies to complete the task. It is very important that your child has scissors, pencils, paper, crayons, and glue at home.

Classroom rituals and routines will be established the first two weeks of school. 

To adhere to the dress code policy, we are asking that ALL STUDENTS wear uniform Monday – Thursday. On Fridays, the students are allowed to wear jeans and the school spirit shirt or color (orange, blue or white).

Students are expected to be present at school and in class each day, unless absence is absolutely necessary. Students are marked absent if they are in school less than half a day. The half day mark is 11:15 a.m. A written note from a child’s parent is required upon returning after an absence.

Students are expected to be on time for school daily. Students arriving after 8am are considered tardy. After 3 tardies, the counselor will be notified. A letter will be sent home if tardies are excessive. Students who are chronically tardy are subject to social worker referrals.

Conferences will be conducted throughout the school year to discuss your child’s academic and social progress. Parents may request a conference. There will be times that the teacher requests conferences outside of the district conferencing schedule. Parents must notify the teacher or come by the front office to schedule a conference. Conferences will not be held during instructional time.

After dismissal, your child will go home according to the information given by the parent or legal guardian. If your child’s afternoon transportation arrangement changes, the teacher MUST be notified via phone call, text message, email, or written notice in a timely manner. If this new information regarding the change in transportation is not given to the teacher, your child will go home using the current mode of transportation.

A deficiency report with plans for remediation will be sent home with the progress report for students with failing grades.

In efforts to diagnose your child’s strengths and weaknesses and monitor his/her academic progress, several assessments will be administered throughout the school year. Class assessments are typically given on Fridays and occasionally on Mondays. Students will take a Pre and Post Assessment for each unit in all content areas. At the beginning, middle, and at the end of the year, the student will also take the Reading DRA and MAP assessments.
