5. Discipline Green Homework Folders go home every night. Please check for marks and good behavior. Please sign so I know you have seen it. Students try to earn tickets daily and can move UP the behavior chart by following the contract. Check the back of the behavior chart for how the conduct grade is figured.

6. Discipline Social Contracts developed by classroom –How do you want to be treated by me? –How do you want to be treated by each other? –How do you think I want to be treated by you? –How should we treat each other when there is conflict?

8. Homework Homework is sent home on Monday in the green folder and is due by Friday. Homework is a great way to build responsibility and independence in the students. Graded papers go home on Tuesday in the purple ACTON folder. Please return the purple folder by Thursday.
