Mrs. Stokes' Conduct Calendar
Dear Parent or Guardian,
My approach to classroom discipline is very simple: keep students very busy and engaged in meaningful learning activities and inappropriate behavior is not usually a problem. When or if inappropriate behavior and/or lack of cooperation continuously becomes a problem, my approach is also simple……contact his/her parents immediately.
Daily feedback is important to parents and teachers. Therefore, I have placed a star in the calendar for each day of the month, representing that all students start out on green (Ready to Learn). I am giving your child a star for each day ahead of time because I am not expecting any behavior problems. If any problem occurs you will see it marked on your child's calendar by color (yellow, orange, or red). If your child has moved to red, expect to see an explanation of the problem along with a written assignment completed by your child for you to sign. If the problem is severe, I will call you at home or work immediately, which is my usual practice. Students have a chance to work their way back to green or to even better behavior. The goal is for them to always be "ready to learn" and working their way to showing "role model" behavior!
There is half of a block left open for your signature under the star. Please sign in the space provided each day indicating that you have seen your child’s star or lack of one. This two-way communication will let your child know that we are working together.
Again, expect your child to keep all or most of his/her stars. A new calendar will be sent home at the beginning of each month. Praise and encourage them at home for excellent conduct and character. We are in this together!! I am always here for you and your child.
Children first,
Mrs. Stokes
