This money must be dated and labeled on the envelope so we know what it is for. Agendas are free this year!!! If your child has a change of transportation, I must have a letter stating the change and how they will be getting home or the school must be called. Agendas

8. Procedures and Consequences : We will be using a clip system this year. Students will move their clip up and down the chart according to their behavior throughout the day. Students work habit grades will come from where they have moved their clip. If their clip is moved down, then they will have the opportunity to move it back up after the behavior is corrected. All students begin on ready to learn and move their stars accordingly throughout the day. Chart levels Super student Great job Ready to learn Think about it Teacher’s choice Parent contact *We will have several weeks of learning the rules and our new routines. B-be prepared A-act responsibility R-respect others K-keep safe
