Code of Conduct

Rules and Procedures

In order for this year to run smoothly for your child, there are three very simple rules that he/she must follow. These rules are also used throughout the school so there should be plenty of reminders on what is expected of your child.

 

Respect:

Ex. 1) When the teacher gives attention signal, stop, look, and

listen to directions.

Ex. 2) Always speak and act positively of one another.

 

Responsibility:

Ex. 1) Have all materials ready at the beginning of class

(i.e. homework, textbooks, notebooks, laptop computer should be fully charged).

Ex. 2) Complete and turn in all assignments on time.

 

Readiness:

Ex. 1) Students are ready to positively participate in class.

Ex. 2) Students will demonstrate proper behavior on field trips.

 

Citizenship Grade: Citzenship grades will be given on a daily basis. Students will begin each morning with a grade of 95%.  The first time a child breaks a rule, they will receive a warning without lowering their grade.  Afterwards, each time a student breaks a rule, a loss of 5% will occur to their grade. For example, if a child has 2 infractions they would have 10% taken away from their grade, resulting in an 85%. A conduct chart will be kept on a daily basis and will be passed to all special teachers as well.
