  17. Homework Policy • 50 minutes per night maximum, which includes 20 minutes of reading • Effort is key. • Please set aside a time and place for your child to complete their homework. • It is important to let them know how important you think school is. Your attitude is contagious!

  18. Homework Policy • 1st = Warning and complete in HW Support • 2nd = Highlight in Assignment Book and HW Support • 3rd = Homework Support (Student will Call Home) • 4th = Homework Support • 5th = Homework Support (Student will Call Home) • At the 5th missed HW…steps will be taken to help find a more effective solution *Starts fresh each marking period

  19. BIR = Behavior Incident Report Rewards each marking period for all students who went an entire marking period without any BIR’s BUS behavior = BIR Behavior Policy Issues handled within team... (most are) A tangible reminder for what behaviors are not acceptable and discussion on how to make better choices in the future When issues are repetitive and severely disruptive to learning or severe, it must move to the next level and require more serious consequences... *Missing the SWEBS reward is not the consequence…the reward simply was not EARNED. The behavior will warrant a consequence at the time of the infraction (ie: lunch detention, recess detention, suspension, etc)

  20. On Team Behavior Policy 1st Strike = warning 2nd Strike = BIG warning 3rd Strike = phone call home 4th Strike = involve others to develop a plan Verbal warnings are given for most behaviors before strikes are assigned. The goal is to help the children keep track of their own behaviors and progress to make positive changes. Incentives will be given!!! Kids start fresh each week!!

  21. Marking Period Reward System Combining BEHAVIOR and RESPONSIBILITY to reward the “whole student.” If STRIKES + MISSED HOMEWORK ≤ predetermined number they will earn our reward! This expectation will increase each marking period.

  22. Hand-Held Devices • School is a great time for the students to work on their social skills. • No cell phones on at school; can be left off and in backpack • Hand-held devices can be used at indoor recess and dismissal time only. • Be sure their name is on EVERYTHING!!!
