Welcome to Back-to-School Night! Make sure you sign up for parent-teacher conferences. The sign up sheet is located at the bean table in the back of the room. Leave a note for your child. He or she would love to hear from you in the morning!

HOMEWORK Homework is a chance for children to practice learning at home! Homework is due the Next Day unless stated differently in the Assignment Notebook. When all students complete their homework, they will receive a positive reinforcement as a class. If the student does not turn in their homework on time, a homework slip will be sent home to be signed by a parent or guardian.

What to Do If…… Doesn’t “get it”? Review notes from class Call homework buddy Ask you for help Write a note/email BEFORE school the next morning Takes much longer than 50-60 minutes to complete assignments? No-distraction environment Parent “supervision” Set a timer & allow mini-breaks LET’S CONFERENCE! Seems to be starting habit of late work? NIP IT IN THE “BUD”! Let’s ALL conference immediately

Growth Mindset: Mistakes Are OK!

Technology Use of the Internet by way of Internet Explorer or Google Chrome is available to students on school laptops and IPads. Careful screening and bookmarking will be done by the classroom teacher prior to student use of the Internet. The district network also has aggressive filters to block inappropriate websites.

Behavior Plan In going along with the district values, students are held accountable for their decisions and their behavior through consequences. There are both positive and negative consequences to their actions and we have discussed both. Open lines of communication are very important when dealing with behavior issues, so I will be in direct contact with parents if there are any cause for concern.
