Procedures
Do Now
- The student comes to class before 9:00am, and begins a Do Now activity. Wednesday's are Desk and Basket clean out day. All other days involve a Do Now to review concepts from the previous day, or to work on reading and writing goals.
- This meeting is student led. Each week a new student leads the meeting. It begins with a greeting, then a mood/feeling check in. Afterwards, students can ask questions, we talk about upcoming events, and problem solve. Then there is a message for the day, and an activity that follows the message.
- No student is to leave the classroom during class time to use the restroom. There is plenty of time to use the restroom. During break, lunch, and in between specials and blocks.
- If a student has an emergency, it is logged on an emergency sheet.
- A student receives four emergencies a year. If the emergencies persist, then a conference will be set up, so that the family and myself can talk about how to support the student.
- There is an INBOX in the classroom. All work is to be turned into to this place.
- Each student MUST write the proper heading in the right hand corner. First and last name (first line); Full Date on the second; Classroom number on the third.
- First and Last name go in the right hand corner.
- Underneath is the full date.
- Class number on the third line.
- Failure to write any of the following means that the paper/assignment goes to the "no name box" and will stay there until the end of the week. Then it goes into recycling.
- Students may bring their devices (laptops, phone, etc.) on Tuesdays and Fridays.
- The device will go into the Device Basket in the morning, and then into the cabinet located next to the whiteboard.
- Students are permitted to have water in water bottles. NO GLASS!
- Students must fill their water bottles on their own time (in between blocks, recess, lunch).
- Homework assignments and due dates are written in school provided planners.
- I check planners daily to see if the student is writing down assignments correctly.
- Often, a family member may be asked to sign off on work completed by the student.
- A healthy snack is permitted. Students may chat, play, and eat their healthy snack during this time.
- Students may play soccer and other recess games out in the sun, IF THEY HAVE A HAT!
- Students can order lunch. Please contact ASM directly for this.
- Students sit at two designated tables outside for lunch, and are dismissed after 20 minutes to play and have recess.
- The students are to clean up their lunch mess before going to play, and they will return when the bell rings to the designated line by the classroom door.
- Absences and tardiness are counted daily and by period.
- If a student is absent, please call or email ASM and cc me on the email.
- Tardy consists of arriving to school or class after the second bell.
- When a student is late, they will go to Ms. Rachida's office in Lower School to have their tardiness noted.
- I am unable to provide lesson plans ahead of time (unless under very special circumstances). It is very important that your child is at school, just like I am every day.
- Vacations and holidays occur throughout the year, and we are offered many days for rest and relaxation.
- Sick days are bound to happen. I am pleased to help your child make up work they missed due to illness.
- Your child has exactly the amount of days they missed school to make up assignments. Example: 3 days sick, 3 days make up work.
