Expectations & Transportation

School Behavior Expectations

Each class will create a "Social Contract" of the expectations everyone wants each other to follow in order to have a fun, safe, engaging classroom environment. The Social Contract will be created by the students and teacher. Once there is consensus on the expectations, each student and the teacher will sign the Social Contract. This is an agreement that your child and all those who have signed the contract will follow these expectations.

Consequences of not following the contract: If a student is having difficulty in following the Social Contract (multiple verbal warnings have been given), the student will then complete a "Think Sheet". The Think Sheet will be completed by the student and the teacher may add additional comments. Then, the student will take home the Think Sheet to discuss with parents. Parents will need to sign the Think Sheet and have the student return it back to school the next school day.

Some behaviors may result in administration and/or school counselor support resulting in a parent/student/teacher conference, a referral, and/or in-school suspension.

Students and teachers are held accountable for their behavior. Please, connect with your child's teacher for a copy (picture) of your child's class's Social Contract. Discuss and revisit the contract often with your child to ensure you and your child understand classroom/school expectations.

Some teachers use Class Dojo as a way to track student behavior and participation in the classroom. Check with your child's teacher to see if this is available to you.
