Classroom Rules
and Discipline
Room
13’s Classroom Rules:
1. Follow directions.
2. Respect others and their property.
3. Complete assignments with quality effort
and on time.
4. Be responsible and accountable for own actions.
Our classroom’s discipline and behavior
plan holds individuals, tables, and the whole
class accountable for their actions.
Discipline Plan:
1st Infraction: Remind student of rule.
2nd Infraction: Head down, table warning, and/or
loss of table point.
3rd Infraction: Loss of recess, processing of
behavior.
Child will also fill out a problem solving form,
have parents sign and return the following day.
(If form is not returned the next day, phone
call to parent will occur.)
Severe disruption: Send
to principal (Mrs.Long), visit with counselor
(Mr. Johnson), and/or place student on Behavior
Contract.
Immediate loss of recess
will result from hitting or threatening another
student. Any and all students involved in fighting
will lose recess regardless of who is at fault.
During the first few
weeks of school, I’ll be quite flexible
in enforcing this policy, but by the beginning
of October I feel that most students will be
ready to be held accountable for their required
homework.
I will always consider
and respect each individual student and his/her
ability level. I will adjust, omit, revise,
and design work that I feel the student can
successfully complete.
I will notify you if
your child is accumulating too many zeros, but
I will not allow the opportunity to “make-up”
any missing assignments. One of the hardest
lesions that 3rd graders have to learn is to
be responsible for their own homework.
On the back of your
child’s assignment sheet you will find
a reading log for the month. This is part of
your child’s nightly homework. Please
initial each day your child reads 20 minutes.
This reading may take the form of your child
reading independently, you reading with your
child, or your child reading with a sibling.
Absences***
If your child is absent, he/she will have 1
day for each day absent to turn in make-up work.
Reminder***
Cursive and multiplication packets are handed
out on Monday and are due on Friday of each
week.
