Be supportive and encourage your child to do their best. • Homework procedures-Plan on sitting side by side with your child Monday-Wednesday for homework. The investment now will set the groundwork for the future. • Conference requirements-Parent Teacher Conferences are required for December 3rd-6th and as needed for March 20 and 21st.. These are minimum days for students. If concerns arise about your child, please contact me at school to talk, don’t wait until a concern becomes a problem. • Attendance- Tardiness is a disruption to the learning environment, see climate plan for consequences. Early out Wednesdays should be used for dentists/ doctors appointments etc. If your child is sick, kindly let them rest at home. • Request Volunteers-Parent communication and participation are an important part of creating partnerships in learning. Please enroll during BTS night. Room parents are my parent volunteer coordinators.

  5. Teacher Expectations • We are a community of learners that embrace and celebrate the differences and various cultures each student brings to our classroom. We strive to create a “safe-to-try” place to learn. • It is my belief that All children can learn. • Children don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. • My job is to share directly and indirectly that belief thereby setting expectations for success. • Discipline with Dignity • Individualized instruction. • Small reading groups • Progress reports

  6. Discipline Procedures • “Effective discipline does not come from the quick mastery of techniques or the implementation of a packages methods. Effective discipline comes from the heart and soul of the teacher.” Richard Curwin • Establish clear and specific guidelines for rules that are mutually agreed upon ,communicated and posted in the classroom. • Misbehaviors are greeted with specific consequences. • We start fresh everyday. • Use humor whenever possible and appropriate.
