I would like to take the time to explain some policies in our classroom....
My goal as a teacher is to provide a safe and stimulating learning environment. In order to do this, there is a reliable and consistent discipline system enforced in our classroom. I feel that a good discipline system reinforces positive behaviors and discourages behaviors that are negative to your child and his/her classmates.
We will be practicing many components of our rules and routines every day. We will learn what each rule means and the steps to achieve them. Please take the time to review the note and the rule with your child. Parent support is a valuable asset that contributes to student success, and by working together we will help your child learn to be a positive contributor in the classroom. I will be firm on our rules as to keep order and accountability in the classroom, but I don’t want “how was your day?” to be the only focus of your after school discussion. “What did you learn?” is our focus. If there are repeated behaviors that need a parent phone call or conference, we can meet and discuss a more detailed plan as needed.
