Woodcrest Purpose
Woodcrest Spanish Immersion School is a supportive community that is focused on working together to ensure our students’ academic, social, and emotional growth to achieve the Spring Lake Park Essential Learning Targets.
First Grade Classes
• There are 4 sections of first grade:
- Señora Sierra’s Class–Señora López-Gallardo Class–Señorita Aranda’s Class–-Señora Marcouiller
Student Expectations
• At Woodcrest the focus of classroom management is on self-discipline and learning to take responsibility for one’s actions.
• A student’s right to learn and a teacher’s right to teach should not be denied because of disruptive behavior.
• Expecting and encouraging appropriate student behavior is the responsibility of all employees who have direct contact with students.
Student Expectations
• The Responsible Learning management plan states the expectations for student behavior as well as consequences for inappropriate and unacceptable behavior.
• Woodcrest uses the Responsive Classroom practices in working with students to become responsible learners.
• We expect students to use as much Spanish as their skill level allows.
Student Expectations
• If your child receives a “bottom line” a report will go home to you and your child’s teacher will call you by the end of the day. Please sign the report and return it to school.
• Your signature does not mean you agree with what happened, but that you have been informed of the report.
• Students need to complete their homework at home. Parents need to supervise them and make sure they have it neatly completed and correct before sending it back to school.
• Organize a special place just for homework. Avoid distracting elements.
Homework Expectations
• Students need to read at least 15 minutes everyday, that includes parents reading to them.
• Look for a special, quiet place to develop this habit.
• Reading in English, Spanish or any other language is alright.
