  26. Paw-sitives! • Students who are being safe, respectful or responsible will be acknowledged for their good choices • This is one of many forms positive reinforcement can take

  27. Responding to Behavior When it comes to responding to problem behavior we have three primary goals: a) Make sure to keep everyone safe • Minimize the loss of instructional time for all students (including the student who engaged in problem behavior) • To teach the student the appropriate behavior to use instead of the problem behavior

Arrival/Dismissal – Children may not be on the school campus before 7:15 A.M. • Full Day Kindergarten • First bell rings at 7:37 • Dismissal at 2:35 • Early Release Day – Dismissal at 12:35 Tardies: • If you arrive after the bell and the class has already gone inside you’ll need to go to the front office for a late pass. • All outside doors remain locked, so it will be necessary to go through the front office doors.

  31. Attendance: • Attendance Phone Line – 783-1997 (24 hrs./day) • If possible, inform teacher in advance in writing. Rainy Day Schedules: • Have children go come directly to our classroom • If possible, try not to come in early. • I will be in our room at 7:15.

  32. Birthdays: • Birthday parties CANNOT take place during school hours. • Invitations CANNOT be given out at school. • We CANNOT have snacks or treats brought in for birthdays Thank you for helping us with this! 

  33. Transportation: • PLEASE inform me of any changes in writing. • If address, phone, work number or any other important information changes please keep us updated.

  34. Star of the Day • Children are take turns being the star of the day • They are the line leader and teacher’s helper all day • We count and cheer the letters of the star student’s name

  35. Labeling: • Please label your child’s belongings, so children will not mix up various items. • This labeling needs to include lunchboxes, backpacks, jackets, water bottles, etc. Lunch: • Please go over the menu and encourage • your child to make different choices each day. Homework: • Homework guidelines for Kindergarten are 3 times per week/5-10 minutes. • The most important homework we can assign you is to read to and with your child on a daily basis. • Homework will usually require family interaction and won’t be given on a regular basis until January.

  36. Library: • Remember when your child will have library check-out day and have your child bring his/her book to school. Students won’t be able to check out a new book if they don’t return last week’s book. Suggestions: • Keep books in a special place away from pets and younger siblings. • Talk with your child about taking care of his or her library book. • Keep library books in a zip lock bag if your child carries a water bottle in his/her backpack.
