… Consequences Three-Tiered Visual Reminder: Green- all is fabulous Yellow-minor infraction so self-monitor actions Red-Continued off-task/inappropriate behavior…student will write a note to the parent in the agenda (in ink) and have the parent sign the agenda…teacher will record memo in behavior book. Student may be asked to have a time-out. Parents are always welcomed to contact me for more information and I may call/email you. • Three red days in a grading period will result in a Behavior Progress Alert. • Multiple Behavior Progress Alerts will result in a Behavior Indicator on the report card and affect academic awards.

May lead to Behavior Indicator on the report card if excessive. (3 or more)-save your Oops Pass for this!
ABSENCES • If your child is contagious-please keep him/her home • You are asked to call the attendance line before 10 am to advise the school if your child is absent. 631-4600 ext 1 • Please let me know via email EARLY IN THE DAY if you want make-up work sent home • Not all learning experiences can be re-created at home • Students should come directly to me the day he/she returns from an absence to ask about make-up work.
School Policies and Information • No interruptions during instructional time • so forgotten lunches should be placed in the cafeteria • All parents must sign in at the front office with photo ID and receive a visitor’s sticker between 8 am and 2:15pm • No student sign-outs after 1:45pm • Lunch at the picnic tables with anyone other than the parent/guardian must have permission from the student’s parent. • Changes in dismissal must be communicated by the parent in writing • What am I forgetting?
Academics My goal each day is to create learning experiences which will engage students and ultimately lead to student success this year. Ideally each student will become an independent learner and be college-ready by the end of 12th grade. Ultimately the students will be productive and happy members of adult society. ALL MY DECISIONS ABOUT MY STUDENTS REVOLVE AROUND THESE IDEAS.
