    Homework:CHECK Class Dojo

     

    Accelerated Reader:  Your child will again be involved in the Accelerated Reader Program (A/R for short).  EACH QUARTER, your child will be expected to accumulate at least 12 points each quarter.  This will be through personal reading, teacher read-aloud, and Reading series stories. The 12 points will be equivalent to a double test grade in Reading.  Your child will be able to accumulate as many more points as desired past the 12 points to use towards the “purchase” items at the A/R store.  

    S.T.A.R.—This is our school wide discipline incentive program (STOP, THINK, ACT, RESPONSIBLY).  At the end of each nine weeks, those students who have qualified with responsible behavior will enjoy some type of reward (party, movie, game day…..).  **Fifth grade students will be disqualified from participating in the S.T.A.R. party if they have received ten negative Class Dojo points, have been assigned a detention within the nine week grading period, have been sent to the office for a behavior infraction, homework negligence, or have repeated violations of the S.T.A.R Discipline Plan.

    DISCIPLINE PLAN: In class we use Class Dojo to monitor our behavior. Ten negative Dojo points in any nine week period will result in a Level II detention. We also implement the S.T.A.R. school-wide discipline plan (see parent handbook).

     

    RULES:

    1. Respect yourself. Respect others. Respect your environment.

    2. Be prepared to learn.

    3. Try your best. Never give up.

    4. LOVE yourself.
