4th Grade Expectations

To School: Each day, students should bring their water bottles, planners and take home folders, their C.A.R.E.S., their willingness to learn, and a positive attitude! Students are asked to adhere to the SHPA uniform policy. Please consult the SHPA Parent Handbook for an updated version!

Take Home Folders/Planners/Signatures: Students should keep track of their planner and take home folder (we will be using them daily). Our planners are a wonderful source of communication. I will be checking and initialing them each day. The students will write down all assignments that they should have completed during the school day. Please check in with students to see if they completed and turned in all their work from the day.

Take Home Folders will hold homework or important information to be taken home to either be kept at home or completed and returned. Notes to me may either be written in your student’s planner or put in their folders.

Homework: We are asking students to spend 45 minutes working on something school related every night. The first priority would be completing any unfinished work from the day or studying for an upcoming test. If they are done with that, they can read a book, do IXL, free write, or complete some other activity that supports their learning at school.

Water bottles/Healthy Snack: Each day your student should bring their water bottle to school. We believe it is important for students to stay hydrated in order for the most learning to take place. Students may bring a small, healthy snack for the afternoon. 

Classroom Expectations:

1. Be respectful of others and their property.

2. Listen carefully and follow directions the first time they are given.

3. Be kind.

4. Do your best!

As a class we discussed how we can respect each other, adults, and the physical classroom. Each of the students and I signed our respect agreement.
