Consequences for Undesirable Behavior Depending on the severity and my discretion and administration the following will happen: • Verbal Warning • Mark in calendar • parent notified through note or phone about behavior A conference may be scheduled. Student may lose a privilege according to the severity of the misbehavior such as: Buying snack from office- Student may have snack from home or fruit from the fruit cart when available. CHAT activities- Student will have to sit out and observe and not participate in games played in class during Fun Friday. 4. Office Referral/Parent Contacted by Adminstration

If you are more than 15 min. late please sign your child in at the office. • If your child must go to the dentist or have a hair cut; please make the appointment after school.

  22. Absenteeism • Students who miss school miss a lot. • Please limit absences! • I understand children get sick. Please notify the office ASAP if your child will miss school. I will have a missed work packet for you to pick up for your child to complete at home.

  23. Missed Tests & Graded Assignments • All school tests and assignments for a grade must be completed in three days of your child returning back to school. • I will remind students about his/her assignments in their Missed Work pocket.

  24. Teacher/Parent Conferencing • It is required for me to conference with all of my students’ parents. I have to conference once during 1st and 2nd semester. • If you would like to request a conference; please send a note with your child. If you haven’t receive a message about a date & time in your child’s folder within 2 days then call and leave me a message in the office. • Conferencing needs to be scheduled if you need an in-depth conversation about your child’s grades and behavior.
