  14. Homework Policy • 50 minutes per night maximum, which includes 20 minutes of reading • Effort is key. • Please set aside a time and place for your child to complete their homework. • It is important to let them know how important you think school is. Your attitude is contagious!

  15. Homework Policy • 1st = Warning and complete in HW Support • 2nd = Highlight in Assignment Book and HW Support • 3rd = Homework Support (Student will Call Home) • 4th = Homework Support • 5th = Homework Support (Student will Call Home) • Etc… *Starts fresh each marking period

  16. ~The Late Policy~ • In order to be prepared for the 6th grade and beyond, it is crucial that all work is handed in on time!! Negative percentage points add up quickly! • 1 to 2 days = -5% • 3 days to 1 week = -10% • After 1 week = -20% * If a student is absent or misses class for band, chorus, etc, arrangements are to be made with the teacher (by the student) to hand in any missed assignments. They are responsible for making up missed work. If your child is absent for multiple days, please call the school to arrange to pick up the missed or get it sent home with someone else. This way your child will not fall too far behind and get stressed.

  17. Students will be tardy to school at 8:30 AM. All students will be issued a slip to class from the secretary. Every 3 tardies each marking period will result in a student being assigned after school study club the next day. Dallastown Tardy policy Reporting absences You may call, report online, or send in an absence excuse form.

  18. Behavior Policy 1st Strike = warning 2nd Strike = BIG warning 3rd Strike = phone call home 4th Strike = involve others to develop a plan Verbal warnings are given for most behaviors before strikes are assigned. The goal is to help the children keep track of their own behaviors and progress to make positive changes. Incentives will be given!!! Kids start fresh each week!!

  19. Marking Period Reward System Combining BEHAVIOR and RESPONSIBILITY to reward the “whole student.” If STRIKES + MISSED HOMEWORK ≤ 4 then they will participate in our reward! This expectation will increase each marking period.

  20. Hand-Held Devices • School is a great time for the students to work on their social skills. • No cell phones on at school; can be left off and in backpack • Hand-held devices can be used at indoor recess and dismissal time only. • Be sure their name is on EVERYTHING!!!
