Absences and Make-up Work: • Work can be picked up at the end of the day, or sent home with a sibling/neighbor if requested. • If you are going out of town and want make-up work, please give as much notice as possible. • I will put together what I can, but probably will not be able to pull it all together. Some work will need to be made up upon return. • Students have two days for every one day they are gone to complete make-up work.

Expectations • Self Responsibility • Bringing things to/from school • Fill out planner • BIST Expectations • It’s always okay to do your best and ask for help • It’s always okay to be kind and helpful • BIST GOALS • I can take good care of myself even if I am mad! • I can be productive even if I don’t want to. • I can be okay, even when others are not okay.

  10. BIST procedures • One redirect during a class period • If behavior is not corrected, student moves to safe seat in the classroom. A think sheet is filled out. • If behavior is still an issue, student moves to buddy room in 5th grade. • If behavior disrupts the buddy room, student moves to the office. • Students work back through the placement once the behavior is discussed and a plan decided on.

  12. From the Healthroom: • A good breakfast helps students do better in school. Research has shown that test scores improve with a healthy breakfast that includes protein. • We are doing a jammin minute each morning with the morning announcements. These are simple exercises designed to get the blood moving and the brain awake and ready to learn. • This year, students first through sixth grade need to have a varicella vaccine or documentation of having had chicken pox and the hepatitis B series. If your child doesn’t have these you will be notified by the nurse. Kindergarten and first will need two varicella vaccines plus the Hep B series. • Attendance: Make sure that you notify the office or the nurse each day your child will be absent or late . If we do not hear from you and cannot get in touch with you, that will be an unexcused absence. Remember that your child should be in the classroom, ready to go by 8:10. Please keep all of your contact information up to date by letting the office know of changes in phone numbers and contacts. • WEB BACK PACK: To find the web back pack go the SMSD site> parents> schools> Rising Star> Web back pack> Cynthia Connellan or http://www4.smsd.org/cynthiaconnellan/ • Forms/Guidelines for medication administration at school. All medications are to be kept in the nurses office. • Plus much more – check it out

Some days they’ll bring it in their hands. Some days they’ll bring it in their heads. Some days they will bring it home in their hearts.” • Valerie Welk
