Expectations
Welcome
Hello, my name is Ms. LaCour and I am your student's Writing, Reading and Social Studies teacher (Humanities).
I am so glad that your Super Student is in my class. It has been a joy getting to know them these first few weeks of school and I look forward to growing with them as the school year progresses. I put this booklet together so that you and I can be on the same page.
Class Dojo
This year as our class positive reinforcement and classroom management program, I am utilizing and free program called Class Dojo. With Class Dojo, teacher, parent and students will be constantly aware of positive and negative behavior. The program comes with a messenger feature, which allows parents and teachers to communicate. Students also take more responsibility for their actions when they know they are being held accountable. Please join because I will send out reminders and information throughout the school year to help your students succeed.
Team Expectations
Homework: Spelling Words and Reading log are due
EVERY FRIDAY.
NO LATE WORK WILL BE ACCEPTED.
Credit is given only for what is turned in on time.
Nightly Reading: Students are expected to read a minimum of
20 minutes at home and write 3-5 sentences about what they read.
Dismissal: During dismissal it is very important that we get each child home safely. That being said, students are to remain on a LEVEL ZERO in the hallway and in the holding rooms. If they do not meet this expectation, they will automatically receive an N in conduct.
