Classroom Expectations:
Our rules and guidelines help our classroom to be a safe, positive, and successful learning environment. It is our hope that all students will be excited to enter the classroom and learn each day. All of the students are expected to make good choices for their behavior and make an effort to follow each of the guidelines on a daily basis.
Students not meeting expectations will be given a verbal request to adjust behavior. A second request may be accompanied by a communication to the classroom teacher and a third request would result in a communication with the parent/guardian.
Procedures for Non-Instructional Routines
• Safety Drills: Students practice safety procedures prior to school-wide drills. All students have been instructed as to where they are to go for such drills and the expected behavior.
