4th offense = Clothespin moved to Red Rope Phone call to parents/ discipline note sent home or sent immediately to Dr. Baxley’s (Principal’s) office.
In addition I will be using Classdojo to track behavior in class. Reports will be sent home weekly.

10. Consequences Continued
The following violations will result in an immediate drop to the
red rope:
Fighting or deliberately causing harm to another student
Deliberately damaging school property
Behavior which stops the function of the classroom
***Corporal Punishment will be used as a last resort.
Please remember that ALL CLOTHESPINS BEGIN EACH DAY
ON THE BLUE ROPE….That way each student has the option
of starting each day on a positive note.

11. Rewards Students who choose to follow the class rules will receive:
Verbal praise
Stickers, rewards
Positive notes to take home
Additional Free time
I anticipate good days ahead. Learning can be fun if
we all abide by the rules!

12. Homework Folders
All papers, notes, and forms will be sent home daily in your homework folder.
A homework sheet will be placed in your homework folder each week. Please make sure you complete your homework each day and have your parents to sign the sheet in the space provided.
I will check homework folders each morning.
Graded papers will usually be sent home on Monday of each week.
Students who fail to do their homework or neglect to get their homework sheet signed will move their clothespins. Unfinished homework will be completed at recess.

13. Attendance
REGULAR and PROMPT attendance at school is crucial to your success.
Instruction begins promptly at 7:45 a.m.
If you are absent from school, please bring a written excuse for the absence within three days.

14. Tardiness School starts at 7:45 A.M.
If you aren’t in the classroom by the time the second bell rings (7:50), you will need to go to the office to attain a tardy slip.
If you are tardy five times, the school will contact your parents.
