CONSEQUENCES

Dear Parents and Students,

I would like to inform you about my classroom's rules and consequences.

* School should be a safe learning environment for all.

Students are expected to take responsibility for their behavior, both academically and socially. It is important that both the students and parents are familiar with consequences for inappropriate behavior.

*Repeated inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated.

THANKS FOR YOUR COOPERATION.

NOTE: A copy of the classroom rules and consequences will be sent with your child. It needs to be read, signed and returned. I am looking forward to a wonderful and productive school year. Thank you.

*If students choose to break any classroom and/or school rules, the following consequences will be strictly enforced.
