Dear Families,

It is our pleasure to welcome your child to the 6th grade. We are looking forward to a very exciting and rewarding school year.

In order to provide your students with a productive learning environment, we have developed the following Classroom Behavior Plan that will be in effect at all times.

Classroom Expectation:

I am a Respectful, Responsible, and Safe student in the CLASSROOM

Be Respectful

Follow directions and procedures.

Use kind words and positive body language.

Listen attentively while someone else is talking.

Raise your hand to contribute.

Do not bully others and include students who are left out.

Be Responsible

Have all materials ready and complete assigned work on time.

Be actively engaged with the lesson.

Keep comments focused on the topic.

Help students who are bullied.

Be Safe

Respond to the quiet signal.

Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself.

Keep your work area, window exits, and floor clear.

Notify staff of unsafe or bullying behavior.

**Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, we have included 2 additional rules that must be followed to keep everyone safe:

1. Keep your mask on and covering your nose and mouth at all times unless given permission to take a mask break.

2. Maintain six feet distance at all times unless instructed not to.

Logical Consequences:

1. “You break it- you fix it”

2. Loss of privilege

3. Time-out (Reflection)

The goals of the logical consequences are to give the students a chance to regain self-control, to fix problems, to preserve their dignity and their relationships, and to keep the students safe. If a rule is broken the student will have a consequence that is communicated with respect for the student, relevant to the action and realistic. *A serious act of violence or threat of violence or repeated severe disruptions to the learning, will result in an immediate Major Behavior Office Referral.

Thank you for your support in making our 6th grade year a positive experience for all.

Sincerely,

Miss McClusky and Mrs. Monnat
