3rd Grade Expectations
Attendance - Students are expected to be present in class every day from 7:55 to 3:25. Being absent, arriving late, and leaving early causes them to miss important instruction and practice. If a student must be absent, a note excusing that student absence must be sent to school within 3 days. After 3 days, it is considered an unexcused absence. Tardies will be recorded. If a student is regularly tardy, the school principal will be reaching out to the parents.
Behavior Expectations - All students are expected to stay on task, be respectful, follow the teachers instructions, and use an appropriate voice level determined by the teacher. The third grade teachers will use a behavior clipboard to keep track of behavior, please reference the parent letter for more information.
Chromebooks - Students will receive a district chromebook for educational use in the classroom. Chromebooks DO NOT go home in 3rd grade. Students are expected to abide by the expectations that can be found on the LISD website (Parent Resources -> iBadger Portal).
Cafeteria - Students are expected to follow cafeteria rules. There will be a cup system used again this year. Red cup - indicates no talking by students at the table and can indicate the inability to go to lunch recess for not meeting cafeteria expectations. Yellow cup - indicates students can talk quietly. Green cup - indicates students can visit quietly, and are ready to go outside for recess. Only 3 boys and 3 girls will be allowed in the restroom at a time. Cones will be placed at the students’ seats as a visual reminder of who is in the bathroom. Blue cones for boys & pink cones for girls in the restroom.
Grading Policy- The district grading policy can be found linked on my teacher website.
Communication - Parents can communicate via Remind. Teachers will check and respond ASAP, within 2 school days.
Headings - All student work is expected to have the correct heading. It should include the students first AND last name, and date.
Homework - Students will have a blue folder that they take home everyday. Please make sure your child completes homework assignments nightly. Homework is handed out every Monday and is due every Friday, unless notified by the teacher.
Late Work - Students will be given up to three days to complete any late work, late work grades are not subject to correction, and 10 points will be deducted from the final grade for each day the assignment is late.
Make-Up Work - The students are responsible for collecting make-up work from any class missed during their absence. Students have one day for each day absent to complete and return assignments missed during an absence. If the student is going to be absent for an extended period, the parent is expected to contact the school and pick up work from the front office at the end of the school day, or request that work be sent with the student if the absence is planned.
Recess - Good Sportsmanship and the following of all school rules is required of all students during recess. Students are not allowed to bring any balls or toys from home.
