If you have any questions about any of the team rules, please ask a teacher. We are here to help you learn not to create a "gotcha" moment.

If you do not follow the team and school expectations:

All Metcalf students in 5th through 8th grade will be held accountable to the Student Bill of Rights and Student Expectations for Success. When students fail to meet behavioral expectations, the teacher will follow these three steps:

1st time: Conversation with the Teacher (verbal Reminder of Expectations)

2^nd time: Contact Parents

3^rd time: Consequence from Team (written Reminder of Expectations)

The student is responsible for picking up the written Level 1 Reminder of Expectations from the Main Office after school the day it is assigned, taking the slip home, having it signed by a parent/guardian, and returning it to the Main Office by the due date listed. Students will not be allowed to complete their consequence without the returned signed form.

For Level 2 and 3 offenses, students will be referred to administration for appropriate consequences.

More information can be found on pages 22-31 of the Thomas Metcalf School Handbook

Learning is the priority for Metcalf students. In order to be successful on summative assessments, students are expected to complete homework and formative assessments prior to the summative assessment.

To assist students with keeping up with assignments, each student has received a planner. Additionally, the team teachers update the assignment page each week. If you are having a difficult time keeping track of your assignments, reach out to a teacher and we will help you come up with a system that works for you!

Students who have a cumulative score less than 1.5 in a class, will be considered ineligible from extracurricular activities. More information on eligibility can be found on pages 36 and 37 of the Thomas Metcalf School Handbook.
