Student_______________________ Grade__________
Dear _______________________________,
Congratulations, we would like to include your child in our SWIM TEAM Program for a minimum of nine weeks. A report will be filled out daily by the teachers and checked at the end of the day by a Behavioral Education Program (BEP) Coordinator. Students pick up their report every morning between 9:00 and 9:15 a.m. and then return it between 3:15 and 3:30 p.m. The student will be able to earn incentives and rewards for appropriate behavior. As parents, you are responsible for making sure your child arrives on time each day for check-in and that you review and sign the daily SWIM TEAM Daily Progress Report and return the white copy to the school. Together, we can make this a positive experience for your child.
