As we head into 4th quarter, which of the items below can you get better at?
Keep students in your classroom whenever possible. Do they really need to visit their locker?
Passes - When students leave your classroom, they must have a pass.
Consider a "no drop and go" policy. One year my team was battling tardies. There were too many students coming in, setting books down then needing to go get something & coming back tardy. We implemented a "no drop and go" policy across the team. This meant that once students came into our room, they stayed until the end of the hour. Yes, it was challenging and worth it.
This was sent to families right before Spring Break.
