Be accepting
Be respectful
Be honest
Students will be given positive reinforcement through the following rewards

Dory Dollars
Star Bears
We love rewarding our students but are always expecting these behaviors even when a reward may not be offered. In the event that your student has had a difficult day a note will go in the planner the 1st offense and a phone call home on the second so we can together come up with a plan to make this a successful school year.

Each student is expected to have a planner taken home and brought back each day.
In the planner they will write their homework and other important information for that day.
The planner must come back to school each day signed by an adult.

We will check planners everyday for notes from parents.
Please write your emergency contact numbers inside your child’s planner.
