Students are expected to come to class prepared. Proper preparation includes:

• Having all homework completed

• Having all necessary classroom supplies (sharpened pencils, red pens, erasers, etc...)

• Being alert and ready to engage in instructional task; this means:

  • Having eaten a proper breakfast

  • Having gotten and good nights sleep the night before

Students are expected to follow our classroom rules. Students are to:

• Listen carefully

• Follow directions

• Work quietly-- Do not disturb others who are working

• Respect others--Be kind with your words and actions

• Respect the school and personal property

• Work and play safely

These class rules flow naturally out of the top three School Rules. These are:

• The Number One Rule: Keep your hands, your feet, and objects to yourself.

• The Number Two Rule: No put-downs.

• Students are expected to “use their words” to solve problems on the yard. When a resolution cannot be reached, students are encouraged to use Rochambeaux or ask for help from the yard supervisor.

Procedures

Students who follow the above practices are likely to be successful both academically and socially. Our goal as teacher is to help students achieve to their greatest potential. If students are not prepared or do not follow our classroom rules, students will receive instruction and corrective measures to put them back on the right track. These may include:

• A note home (These most commonly take the form of a "White Slip." These are standard forms used at several grade levels at Faria.)

• A phone call

• An email

PROCEDURES

· The teacher will take care of minor offenses. Major offenses may be sent to the office to see the principal if the teacher feels it is necessary.

· If a child is involved in a major offense, a consequence is given and the teacher or the principal will contact the parent(s).

· Should a child be involved in repeated problems, a conference will be held with the parent, principal, the teacher, and the child.

· In the event there are repeated major offenses, in cases that cause injury to another student, extreme misconduct, destruction of property, prearranged fights, or a violation of the zero tolerance policy a student may be suspended from school.
