Expectations

Picture
There are 3 rules of the road I expect students to follow in order to successfully navigate the highway that is our classroom. 
  1. Be Prepared
  2. Be Respectful
  3. Do Your Best​



​These are three very simple rules I expect students to comply with while taking part in my classes. I feel that these basic rules, if followed, will help students to be very successful during my classes. The remainder of the items that I have setup in my classroom are procedures and range from things like asking for help, handing in assignments, and requesting to leave the classroom.

Procedures

  • Attendance
Regular attendance is essential for success. If you are unable to attend school you must provide a note and take responsibility to catch up on any missed work.
  • Missed Assessments​
​​You will be expected to write assessments on the day scheduled. If you are absent for an assessment, you must be prepared to write the make-up in a timely manner to be discussed with me. A note is required for all absences to be excused.
  • Test Corrections
If you obtain a test mark below 60%, you will be given the chance to make annotated corrections to receive additional marks.  You are able to earn back half of the points that were missed on the test if corrections are completed fully. Corrections must include explanations in complete sentences for all questions and must be handed in within a week of the graded test being handed back.  

Behavior Tracking

Picture
We will be using Classdojo to track and monitor behavior. By following the instructions sent home during the first week of school you can connect to your child's class. Students will accumulate points throughout the days, weeks, and months culminating in individual and class rewards.
​
The purpose of this is to keep parents informed of student behavior as well as an incentive for students. Report cards are designed to reflect a student's ability to grasp and understand the curriculum. ClassDojo will be a place to gather data on classroom behavior. Once you have connected to the class you will be able to see the specific skills we are focusing on during the school year.
