  1. BMS Fifth Grade Expectations 2013-2014 Ms. Dukes and Ms. Perucki

  2. School-Wide Rules • The students split their time between several classrooms, therefore we have the same basic rules and expectations for behavior for all students: • Speak politely and nicely. • Follow directions the first time given by any staff member. • Raise your hand to speak during instructional times. • Honor other’s space and stay out of their personal “bubbles”. • Get out of your seat only when permitted.

  3. Dress Code Students are expected to be in dress code each day. • Shirts must be tucked in and belts worn on waist. • Pants/skirts may be black or khaki. • Shirts should be BMS logo, collared shirts only. Shirts should fit appropriately, without being too large. All shirts should be tucked into pants or skirts. • Shorts and skirts should be knee-length regardless of wearing leggings. Leggings must be a solid color. • In the event of cooler weather, sweaters and sweatshirts must have the BMS logo. Coordinating white or cobalt blue long-sleeve shirts only may be worn under the BMS shirts. Hooded items may not be worn in school. • Students should wear sneakers or closed-toed shoes. Sneakers are always required for P.E.

  4. Homework • Students will have math, literacy, and science/social studies homework Monday through Friday. • All homework given is recorded in the planner each day before dismissal. Parents should sign the planner each evening • Homework should be done neatly and in complete sentences. • Math homework should be done in pencil. • Incomplete assignments must be made up at recess and will be recorded as late. Parents will be contacted in the event of multiple missed assignments.

  5. Character: Being a BRICK • B – Changing Breakdowns to Breakthroughs by applying problem solving strategies such as • HA-HA-SO. • R – Taking Responsibility for being the author of one’s life through one’s decisions and choices. • I – Learning how Integrity (keeping one’s word) empowers relationships and goals. • C – Creating opportunities for students to Contribute within the classroom, school, and community. • K – Engaging students in increasing their Knowledge so that new possibilities for their lives can be created.

  6. Character Assessment Rubric • Because Breakthrough is a school that teaches character, we also assess our students’ character during the school year and include character on our report cards. • Students are assessed on a 1-5 scale, with 3 (consistent) being the baseline rating. Scores of 1 and 2 show exceptional character, while scores of 4 and 5 show that a student is having difficulty designing his/herself to be effective.

  7. Ways to help your child at home: • Each evening, check over and sign your child’s planner and homework, especially at the beginning of the year to establish positive routines. • Encourage your child to read out loud to you whenever possible to practice their reading fluency. • Encourage your child to proofread written homework assignments. • Practice multiplication and division facts and other related math skills at home. These are required for meeting the standards in math. • Find a special place that is quiet and clean for your child to do their homework in each day.

  8. Supporting Literacy at Home • Get your student a magazine subscription or newspaper subscription according to their interest. • Utilize websites, such as BMS Kids, Renzulli, NetTrekker, Scholastic.com, etc. • Commit to reading as a family – set a goal for how many minutes a night everyone will be reading!!!!

  9. Parent Volunteers • Assisting in the classroom • Reading • Sharing career information • Chaperones for field trips • Assisting with classroom activities • Donating supplies/materials - Disinfectant wipes -Kleenix, paper towels -kitchen sponges
