Homework Information & Policies

Homework will be in each student's folder.  Please look for this every night.  It should be in the front pocket (but check the back too).  Anything unfinished in the folder is homework, and should be turned in the following school day.  The back pocket should contain completed work, and that is yours to keep.

Every student gets one free "I forgot it!" each 9 weeks.  After the one freebie, students will move his/her name down for not having homework.  If the problem is excessive, playtime will be lost. Your child can earn homework passes with good behavior and having all reading vocabulary words memorized.

If students are absent, please make every effort to pick up missed work.  Please just call the office and let them know you are coming.  I will be happy to have all the work for that day ready for you.

Behavior

In the classroom, student will use a ladder to track behavior.  Each student starts the day on a green  apple.  Then colors from there move to orange, yellow, purple, red, and off the ladder.  Please see the following list of rewards and consequences.  

Green - great day - reward stamp
Orange - good day
Yellow - had some problems - time out during playtime
Purple - had several problems - lose all of playtime
Red - bad day - lose all of playtime, silent lunch, and note home
Off the ladder - terrible day - all of red consequences plus a possible trip to principal

Students who remain on green or orange for the week, will get treasure box on Friday.  Students will also receive the following rewards for stamps:
5 stamps - extra treasure box pass
10 stamps - homework pass
15 stamps - be the helper for a day
20 stamps - 20 minutes of free time
25 stamps - 20 minutes of computer time
