As parents, you are an essential
part of the educational process. Research has proven that the best schools, the
best teachers, the best principals are not as important to a child’s
achievement in school as a parent. You are the single most important key to
your child’s success. Therefore, to be effective in the classroom it will be
important for us to have your support and maintain open communication
throughout the year. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not
hesitate to call or make an appointment for a group conference.
We believe that all students have
the ability to behave appropriately in our classrooms and should be held
accountable for their actions. In order to guarantee your child and the other
students the excellent learning environment they deserve, this management plan
of expectations and consequences have been established.
In addition to following the school
rules as outlined in the Cascade handbook, all team members need to meet the
following classroom expectations:
1.
Be on time and be prepared to learn.
2.
Do nothing that interferes with your own or someone else’s learning.
3.
Show respect for yourself, for others, and for property.
We have discussed these expectations and the reasons behind them in
class. Please take time to discuss them further at home. Your child should be
able to explain them to you.
We have also discussed consequences
for misbehavior. Any student who chooses to behave inappropriately will be
directed to leave class and report to a time out room for processing. The
student will be allowed to return to class only when appropriate classroom
behavior is exhibited and stated in writing. Two time outs in one day and/or
3-4 time outs in one month will result in a lunch table assignment. Students
receiving five or more time outs in the month will be assigned lunch
detention. Other consequences are after
school detention and Friday Night School.
Parents will be informed of discipline issues when a child reaches four
think times in a month. Extreme
misbehavior, such as swearing, vandalism, stealing, or violation of the Hands
Off Policy will result in further disciplinary
action.
Please take a moment to review this
information with your child.
Sincerely,
Your
sixth grade teachers
