Rules of the Game

5th & 6th Grade

Classroom Rules/Expectations

1. Be polite, courteous, and respectful at all times.
2. Respect personal space, rights, and property of others.
3. Do not interfere with the teaching and learning of others.

4. Follow directions of your teachers and all the school staff.
5. Come to class prepared with all supplies and homework complete.

6. Always do your best!

We created this set of expectations as a team because we believe that children need to work in a positive environment in order to grow educationally, socially, emotionally, and spiritually. In order to protect this environment, students who do not meet these expectations will have consequences.

Consequences:
Students consistently failing to follow school rules will receive a yellow referral slip. This slip needs to be signed by parents and returned to school the following day. Homeroom teachers keep track of referrals. If a child receives more than two referrals in a quarter, he/she will be expected to serve detentions the day after the referral is given. These detentions will be served Monday through Thursday from 3:15-3:45 and Friday from 7:30-8:00. Refer to your discipline handout for more detailed information.

Late/Incomplete assignments:
Students who fail to complete their homework will receive a pink referral slip. This slip need to be signed by parents and returned to school the following day. This work is expected to be completed the next day or the student will receive a 0 for the assignment. Homeroom teachers keep track of referrals. If a child receives more than two referrals in a quarter, he/she will be expected to serve a detention the day after the referral is given. These detentions will be served Monday-Thursday from 3:15-3:45 and Friday from 7:30-8:00. Refer to your discipline handout for more detailed information.

Students who are ill have the number of days that they were absent to complete their work before it is considered to be late.

Detentions:
Detentions will be served Monday through Thursday from 3:15-3:45 and Friday mornings from 7:30-8:00.

Field Trips:
Field trips are considered a privilege and may be taken away from students who exhibit chronic behavior problems or late assignments. Parents and students will be made aware of this situation before the field trip has been taken away, and students will have the opportunity to make the choice to follow classroom rules so that their field trip is not taken away.
