Classroom Expectations
Discipline: Discipline is necessary for success in all aspects of life. In our learning community, it is the student's job to learn & the teacher's job to teach. Student behaviors disrupting this process aren't allowed. Most students, when treated with respect & given the opportunity to develop a sense of belonging in any group setting generally don't present a disruption in a structured classroom where expectations are clear & consistent.
Expectations in our classroom are:
1) Engage in active listening & learning.
2) Follow directions.
3) Respect others, environment, & materials in word & deed.
4) Work & play appropriately & safely.
However, there are exceptions to any situation involving diverse groups of students with a wide range of academic & social needs. So for the sake of those students who are ready to learn our daily academic targets, disruptions during instruction will be addressed as follows:
1st disruption: verbal/visual warning
2nd disruption: Student will create a behavior plan outside the classroom that will help support his/her learning needs while respecting the rights of all learners in class. Parents will need to review the plan with their child, sign & return it to school in support of the school's effort to support their child's learning, while protecting the learning of all students in class.
3rd disruption: Students will receive a discipline referral notice & parents will need to come in for a conference with student and school staff to determine further action that will support learning objectives.
We are sure you can imagine how much energy is consumed in the process of dealing with disruptions in class, & the impact this has to everyone's learning. Please speak to your child early about his/her purpose in the classroom and support all students & their families in how important it is that they are focused on learning so we are able to accomplish our goals.
