5. We use Class DOJO for our behavior system
We use Class DOJO for our behavior system. Please check to see how your child is doing in the class. I also post pictures on there for you to see what we are doing in our classroom. Dojo points also count towards your child’s House points. The House with the most points each quarter gets a reward!

6. Every Thursday or Friday, I will post and email the Weekly Update
Every Thursday or Friday, I will post and the Weekly Update. This is what we will be learning about in the upcoming week. This will also have important dates. Please be sure to look at this with your child and talk about what is coming up.
Blog: The blog will have a lot of resources for you and your child to use! Please visit it frequently!

8. We will be taking timed tests this year.
Students must pass 5 tests in order to get their multiplication license.
Students must score a 96 or better on the 1st 4 and make a 100 on their 5th.
Once students pass their 5 tests, they will then begin division.
Tests are 100 questions with 11’s and 12’s. I give students 7 minutes.

10. 90-100 = A 80-89 = B 74-79 = C 70-73 = D 69 and below = F
Progress Reports 4 ½ weeks
Report Cards end of 9 weeks

me. You will need to take form to the front office to get code. You must have your ID.

80-89 = B

11. Test Retakes
Students will be allowed to redo classwork grade to earn ½ credit back for incorrect answers.
They will not be allowed to retake tests.
Adhering to Timber Ridge policy, the lowest grade that will go into the grade book will be a 60%.

12. Students come straight down to the classroom when they arrive at school. They will have an activity to work on.
Please always send in a note if your child has a change in transportation. We are not allowed to accept for changes.

15. Can my child celebrate his/her birthday?
We love celebrating birthdays! Please bring in pre-cut treats either with your child in the morning or to lunch. We do have one student with dairy and gluten allergies.
Can my child wear a smartwatch?
Yes, but please make sure the data is turned off so he/she does not receive text messages during the school day. This causes a big interruption into our day.
Will there be a shirt for 4th grade?
Yes, we are working on designing a shirt for our classes. Information will be sent home in Thursday Folders when we are ready.
