Communication with Parents
Regular communication is important to the success of your student. You will be contacted regularly in the following ways:
1. “Take-Home” folders containing graded student work are sent home every Monday.
2. The online backpack to monitor grades, behavior, and missing assignments.
A newsletter is sent home weekly on Monday in “take home” folders.
Conferences are scheduled for all parents during the 1st nine weeks in the month of October. Additional conferences can be scheduled anytime at the parent’s or teacher’s request.
Phone Calls and School Messenger
Website
Be sure the school has your latest cell phone number and or email address. We can no longer use Class Dojo for communication, so I will be using the Backpack Feature to send out updates and need to know info!
Homework Policy
All 2nd grade students will be given weekly homework and is due the next day unless otherwise noted. Students will have math homework assignments Monday night –Thursday night as well as reading 10 minutes each night. Students will also have a weekly spelling menu that is due on Friday before their spelling test.
Attendance Policy
The school year consists of 180 school days. To receive credit, students must attend at least 170 days of each 180-day year course, as well as meet all minimum requirements for each course. Accrued student absences may not exceed ten days during the school year. Any absence in excess of ten days may cause the student to lose credit for the year.
Make –Up Work Policy
Within 5 days of a student’s return from an EXCUSED absence, the student must complete missed work. Students will have one day for each day missed to complete assignments for an UNEXCUSED absence. Work not turned in within a week of the student’s return to school will earn 0% credit. Teachers and parents will make arrangements if special circumstances exist (e.g.- extended medical absence with notification from doctors).
Grading Policy
Students will be graded on a ten point grading system as shown below:
90-100 A
80-89 B
70-79 C
60-69 D

Rules and consequences
Welcome Elementary is a PBIS school, which focuses on rewarding positive behavior. School-wide expectations are taught at the beginning of the school year and enforced by all faculty and staff. In the event of misbehavior, students may be an “in class reflection” which gives them an opportunity to reflect on their behavior. If misbehavior continues or there is a major discipline issue, students may receive a classroom discipline report or an office referral.
Disciplinary actions will be given for students who misbehave. Misbehavior includes any disruptive behavior that takes away from class instruction. Students will be given a classroom disciplinary report (CDR). You will be notified if your child receives a CDR and the school administrator will also be notified. Please return the CDR signed to the teacher. Every four CDR’s will have a consequence of In-School-Suspension.
Classroom rules
P are prepared
A act responsibly
W work as a team
S Shows respect
*Referrals will be written immediately for major offenses (ex. Fighting)
*Teacher will use class dojo to give out positive points for great behavior and negative points for inappropriate behavior. -1 is a warning, -2 is silent lunch, -3 is a teacher given consequence, and -4 is a classroom discipline referral.
Tickets: Students will receive tickets based on their number of positive points each day. They may also receive tickets from other teachers throughout the day for having exceptional behavior! There will be an opportunity periodically to spend these tickets.
Pack Paws: Our class will have the opportunity to earn pack paws from another staff member or teacher during the day if the entire class is showing great behavior. These will go toward our pack – a team made up of several classes from around the school. If our pack reaches the designated number of paws for the time period given, they earn a reward. Students will find out their pack the first week of school.
