Classroom Rules, Expectations, and Behavior:

At this grade level, students should be very familiar with the rules and expectations. However, there are times when students forget and must be reminded of expectations not only in the classroom, but outside of the classroom as well.  

• I expect for all students to come to class ready to learn.

• I expect for all students to participate and put forth effort each day. 

• I expect for all students to be respectful not only to me, but to others and themselves as well. 

• I expect for all students to keep their hands and feet to themselves.

• I expect for all students to keep negative comments about others to themselves. I will not tolerate any form of bullying whether it is physical or verbal. (imagine if someone called you a name or intentionally put their hands on you).

• I expect for all students to raise their hand to comment or ask a question. (don't blurt out).

• I expect for all students to ask for help when they don't understand something. I am here to help! (a closed mouth don't get fed!) How will I know, if you don't say anything!

• Lastly, I expect for all students to have FUN, because we will have lots of FUN! 

**Your student will be given 1 warning/redirection before a consequence is handed to them.

Student Consequences:

• Warning/Redirection

• Laps @ Recess (5-15 minutes)

• Silent Lunch + Remind message to parent

• Office Referral

*The severity of the consequence is up to the teacher.

Individual Incentives:

Each month the 5th grade teachers will select a Student of the Month! This student will receive a SOTM certificate, Principal's 200 ticket, and recognition in Dr. Abell's monthly Parent Newsletter. 

Classroom Incentives:

Students will also have the ability to earn class compliments! These are not as easy to receive because it involves the entire class. So, if one person is making a bad choice...it will effect the entire class. Once the class as a whole receives 10 compliments, then I will spin the wheel for what their class incentive will be. It could be pajama day, lunch in the classroom and a movie, lunch outside, fun Friday, pizza party, ice-cream party, or juice & donuts. Below is how the class can earn compliments. 

• Positive café behavior

• Compliments from another teacher or admin

• Positive hallway behavior on level 0

• On task even when  I am speaking to another adult

• Transitioning on level 0 (without reminders)
