Partnership • Your child’s education is a partnership between your child, teachers and parents. We will need you to assist in your child’s education by signing up for notifications, supporting homework and behavior issues.
Platooning/Pairing, What Is It? • Platooning or pairing is a framework that a grade level uses that allows students to share teachers who are content experts in specific subjects. • Students are assigned a homeroom teacher that teaches more than one subject areas, kiddos transition to the other teacher throughout the day. Each teacher has 110 minutes a day with them.
Curriculum The 4th grade Arizona College and Career readiness will guide our instruction…. ELA & Social Studies--- Miss Heredia Math and Science-Mrs. Clemente They will take all supplies and their backpack with them from class to class.
Grading This is the year to foster independence in your child! Check Your Child's Grades On-Line • Your child’s graded work may be marked with a percentage grade or may simply have a point score such as 12/15. • Mistakes are okay because we learn from them. • Late and missing assignments will affect grades. Late assignments are graded and entered into Infinite Campus at the teacher’s convenience due to not turning it in on the due date.
Homework • Intermediate grades should have 30 – 45 minutes of homework a night. • An additional 15-20 minutes should be devoted to independent reading. • There will be completion grades for homework. • Except for extended assignments or catching up (absences, book reports, science projects, etc.), homework will not be assigned over the weekends. • Incomplete classwork assignments may be sent home for completion.
Field Trips • $30 total fee for the year. Must be paid online through Infinite Campus.
Schoolwires/Infinite Campus/Remind • Our Chandler Schools will send you E-Alerts via email whenever there is important news as well as progress reports and report cards! • Grades can be monitored through Infinite Campus. • We have ONE Remind account that we use to “remind” you of events, needs for the classroom etc. It is one way communication sent via text or email. ** Do not email/text us back on remind, we will not receive it **
Discipline Plan • We will be using the Leader In Me school wide. • Students will be acknowledged for positive behaviors throughput the day. • Our goal is to reward students for demonstrating responsible and conscientious behavior both in the classroom and around our school campus. • Negative behaviors will be handled in accordance with the Student Handbook. guidelines.
Our Mission… Our Andersen students inspire, love, learn, and lead with purpose.
Discipline Everyone has a bad day once in awhile…Should a student display on-going inappropriate behavior: • 1st offense – Verbal Warning. • 2nd offense-Think Sheet (pink sheet) with Parent’s Signature (possible consequence) • 3rd offense-Student Reflection Sheet (call home/consequence) • 4th offense student will receive a ticket which may lead to an after school detention. Parents will be notified by phone if their student will be serving after school detention. A conference may be required if deemed necessary. • If the infraction of the rules is a serious offense, the student will be sent immediately to the principal and may receive a detention. • If a student doesn’t turn in their homework or doesn’t finish their assignments, they must finish it at break.
