Class Rules/ConsequencesClass rules are posted on the bulletin board and reviewed periodically.

Should your child make a bad decision, his/her name car is moved up the stop light. If they get to red they receive a recess detention. I have explained to the students that if this occurs it does not mean that I do not like them, but I do need to maintain order in the class so that everyone has a positive learning environment.

11Thank YouIf there is anything you think I should know about your child, please leave a note on your childs desk.Any questions throughout the year please do not hesitate to call.Thank you for participating in your childs education.
