• Classroom Expectations:

  • • • Our rules and guidelines help our classroom to be a safe, positive, and successful learning environment. I 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 behavior expectations will be given a verbal request to adjust behavior. A second request would result in a communication with the parent/guardian.  Students who behave positively and are eager to participate will be rewarded with class incentives.
