Classroom Rules• As a class we contributed rules that we felt

were appropriate. • Then we looked at what rules could be

combined, omitted or should definitely be kept. • We narrowed it down to between 5-8 rules and

flipped the wording to be positive. • Then we discussed what each rule looks like

and sounds like. • The students have signed the bottom because

the rules are a contract. They know that these are the expectations set.

Page 9: Welcome to  Back-To-School Night!

Homework Expectations• Each child is responsible for writing down their own HW

from the board and packing their own backpack. • At this point in the year, I will check their agendas and

initial them. Over time, students will do partner checks.• Parents – please sign their agendas each night • Students are responsible for using their agenda as a

checklist to bring home all of the materials needed. • HW should take about 30-40 minutes to complete. • HW should be completed independently; if there is an

issue, please send in a note attached to the HW explaining the issue .

• Students are required to read for 20 minutes each day, Thursday – Sunday, and record the info. on a reading log

• Students are also expected to complete the writing activity on the back of the reading log.

Page 10: Welcome to  Back-To-School Night!

Homework Policy• HW is checked daily by the teacher and the student can

receive a check plus (100 points), check (90 points) or check minus (80 points)).

• If a student does not have their HW complete, didn’t do it, or forgets it at home, and doesn’t have a parent note:– the student is expected to fill out a HW excuse form, – a parent is expected to sign and date the HW excuse, – the student is expected to return the signed HW excuse

the next day to the teacher along with the completed HW.

– for every day that the HW is late, students will lose 10 points on that particular assignment

• 3 missed HW = phone call home• 5 missed HW = parent/ teacher conference • Timely HW completion will be factored into final

grades.

Absence and HW Policy • If your child is absent, the HW they missed is

due the next school day, unless the teacher says otherwise or there is a parent note.

• If you want to pick up their HW, please send me an email ASAP. Pick up their HW in the Main Office at the end of the day.

• If you would like us to send their HW home with a sibling, please send me an email indicating their sibling’s name, grade, and teacher.
