Birthdays! ● Birthdays are special days for all students. All birthdays will
be recognized by the front office by:
*collecting a birthday present
*special birthday song
● Summer birthdays are included in celebrating!
● Parents may not send a treat, cupcakes, balloons, or party favors as this impedes on instructional time for all students.
● If you intend to pass out birthday invitations at school, you must include the entire class. If you don’t want to invite the whole class, you must pass out invitations on your own, outside of school.

FSA This year your child will take 3 state assessments.
Writing
Reading
Math
The writing will be given earlier in the Spring than the other 2 assessments to allow time for scoring.
The writing score will be added to the reading score to give an overall reading writing.
DEVICES Our students will be using their MacBook Pros on a
daily basis at school. However, there may be times where they can bring an additional device from home that can offer something different than the computers (i.e. apps, easier way to take pictures, etc). In these cases, students will be allowed to bring and use their devices ONLY if we receive the signed “BYOD” (Bring Your Own Device) form.

SCHOOL WIDE BEHAVIOR PLAN
Matrix of Rules with Example BehaviorsEach grade level will have a matrix aligned with the rules for students to understandhow to earn points and why points will be deducted. (Sample below is from K.)
DOJO DEDUCTIONS
• If a student breaks one of our SHARP rules, they will have a “Dojo Deduction” and can lose a point.
• Just like in a clip chart system, there will be a series of consequences that follow negative behavior.
PRIZES• Class Dojo will keep record of the
points, and the student can then cash points out for prizes.
• Students can cash in points for prizes on a pre-set menu established by the teacher.
• Students will also be recognized school-wide for being a top point earner and can choose from special prizes, such as lunch with the principals.
• We also are introducing a school store for high point earners this year!
