BEHAVIOR POLICY

5th Grade follows the same color system as the rest of Harris Creek does. I will ask you to flip a stick if your child does not follow our class rules.
CLASS DOJO
The most important rule I have is RESPECT!
I expect your child to respect himself/herself , his/her classmates and the adults that are teaching him /her each day.
To encourage our class to follow our class rules we will be participating in a program called CLASS DOJO.
This is a program that helps me keep track of the individual student’s behavior. Each week you will receive an email updating you on your child’s behavior from CLASS DOJO.
DROPS
This is a school wide incentive program and we will be earning drips as a class and be rewarded as we reach each level of drops,
BEHAVIOR ALERTS
If your child does not follow our class rules then he /she will have to fill out a Behavior report from me during recess and have it signed by you that evening.

HOME WORK POLICY
Home work will be given Monday-Thursday on a regular basis. Your child should plan on spending 45-60 minutes a night on homework. It is your child’s responsibility to write homework down each night in his/her agenda. I will sign agendas each day so this is a great place for daily communication if needed. Most weeks I will put the whole week’s homework up so that your child can work ahead when needed. If your child is spending more than 30 minutes on a subject or a more than 60 minutes total on homework please let me know so that we can figure out what needs to change to make your child feel more successful. If your child does not complete homework he will be expected to finish it during the following school day.
