ATTENDANCE

• It is very important for students to be at school every day.

• We start learning right away, so tardies can become a problem.

• There are many incentives to be at school!

Discipline

• Green Homework Folders go home every night. Please check for marks and good behavior. Please sign so I know you have seen it.

• Students try to earn tickets daily and can move UP the behavior chart by following the contract.

• Check the back of the behavior chart for how the conduct grade is figured.

Discipline

• Social Contracts developed by classroom– How do you want to be treated by

me?– How do you want to be treated by

each other?– How do you think I want to be

treated by you?– How should we treat each other

when there is conflict?
