Homework is due at 7:50. Please do not bring your child’s homework to school. They need to learn to be responsible for their work. Please keep absences to a minimum. We cover an immense amount of content each day. Please try to make appointments as late as you can.

6. Our Daily Routine School starts at 7:50. Please come prepared. If your child is tardy, you must sign him/her in the office. Class work-I expect 100% effort! Homework-Should not last over 40 minutes. There is usually reading and math every night. Makeup work-A yellow makeup folder will be sent home with the missing assignments. How ever many days your child was absent is how many days he/she needs to make the work up. Lunch is at 11:45. We have snack at 9:15. Please provide only appropriate snacks and water bottles that are spill proof.

9. A Little More about Behavior… I believe that everyone can succeed in my class. I hold my students to high expectations. I expect ALL students to come ready to learn! Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. Each and every one of us is responsible for our own actions. Remember, every action has a consequence-both the good and the bad. The school wide behavior plan will be enforced in my classroom. Students that misbehave will face the following consequences: he/she will first be given a warning, second he/she will be sent to another teacher’s room if the misbehavior continues, next will be an infraction/parent phone call, a second infraction followed by an after school detention, and a third infraction will result in an office referral.
