  3. Discipline Policy The Walker Way: BE RESPECTFUL, BE RESPONSIBLE, BE SAFE • Procedures/Rules are a part of life and are intended to make our classroom/school a respectful, responsible, and safe environment.

  4. Discipline Policy • Students will be expected to follow all procedures outlined in the PBIS expectations matrix (posted in my classroom and included in parent information packet) as well as other procedures taught throughout the year. Should a student violate any of the above, a proper consequence determined by the teacher, will be issued. • Consequences are as follows: verbal warning, lose of intramurals, detention(s), phone call(s) home, conference with teacher, change of seat, referral, and/or visit to the office. • Compliance with procedures/rules will result in following rewards: constructive learning, verbal praise, PBIS tickets, free time, participation in end of year activities, and/or participation in various activities throughout the year.

  5. Positive Reinforcement • To encourage students to follow classroom procedures/rules, I will reinforce appropriate behavior with rewards. • Rewards can be whole group and/or individual. • Students can earn PAWS for our class and tickets individually. • Tickets can be redeemed at “PawMart” during lunch on designated days.

  6. Assignment Notebook • Tool for communication between classroom and home. • Daily homework assignments are posted in class as well as on my webpage. • Students should write ALL assignments in their assignment notebook. • Decisions on whether to bring home work completed in class should be established by parents/guardians. • All assignments are handed back throughout the week.

  7. ABSENCES / TARDIES • ABSENCES • When a student is absent, it is the responsibility of the student to ask for his or her absent work. • Assignments missed due to illness will be given one day per day of absence plus one day. Requests for homework should be given to the school office before 11 AM and picked up at the school at the end of the school day. Summit Hill School District 161 appreciates parents taking an active role in the child’s education both at school and at home. • Students may take advantage of studyhall or academic assistance to complete work.

  8. ABSENCES / TARDIES • TARDIES • Students are required to arrive to class on time. Students that are not in class by the time the bell rings will be subject to the following policy: • Per quarter, for each class: • 1st tardy – verbal warning • 2nd, 3rd and 4th tardies will be recorded in Powerschool • Once the student has 4 tardiesfor the same class, the student will receive a referral for a ‘major’ offense, and will be sent to the office. The student will receive a detention. • For every tardy after the 4th offense, the student will receive further disciplinary action that can include detentions or other consequences • Student starts each quarter with a ‘clean slate’

  9. Homework Policy • Assignments that are not completed by the due date will count as a missing assignment and a MISSING ASSIGNMENT slip (pink slip) will go home for parent signature. • Until the missing assignment is turned in, the assignment will be marked as a ‘zero’ or ‘incomplete’ in PowerSchool. Once the assignment has been completed, the grade in PowerSchool will be updated to show the final score earned on the assignment. • The missing assignment slip (pink slip) must be returned with parent signature along with completed work. If the student has completed assignment but does not have signed slip, the student will sit out of intramurals until slip is returned to school. • THREE missing assignments accumulated from any subject will result in a minor referral and student will serve a lunch detention. If a student receives 3 minor referrals for missing assignments (9 total missing assignments) the student will be issued a major referral and will serve an after school detention. • At any time, the parent and teacher may need to develop a plan to assist the student; the student may be required to attend Academic Assistance after school. • LATE HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS ACCUMULATE • FROM ALL SUBJECTS PER QUARTER STUDENTS BEGIN EACH NEW ACADEMIC QUARTER WITH A CLEAN SLATE

  10. Dress Code • Please refer to your child’s assignment notebook for a complete explanation of the dress code policy • All dress code violations will be sent to the main office
