Castle Park Elementary Management Policy For 3rd Grade

Dear Parents,

In order to provide the best environment possible for learning, it is necessary to implement a **Management Program** in our classrooms. By the third grade, students are learning to become self-managed and self-disciplined.

Nevertheless, a system of standards is in place, and each child must choose for him/herself the behaviors which will lead to positive or negative consequences. Taking responsibility for one’s actions will be stressed this year, along with the values stated in the **//Castle Park Code of Chivalry//**: “Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility.”

Appropriate choices of behavior will result in positive consequences, such as: extra privileges, rewards, prizes, recognition, good grades, and of course, a better education for oneself.

POOR BEHAVIOR CHOICES WILL RESULT IN NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES.

· For the first behavior problem or breaking of a rule, the student will receive a warning.

· If the behavior does not improve, (s)he may be asked to move his/her clip on our behavior chart.

· The behavior chart has 4 levels: blue = outstanding behavior, green = behaving according to expectations, yellow = inappropriate behavior, and red = repeated or severe inappropriate behavior.

· Children who maintain green or blue levels throughout the week may have their name drawn to receive a prize. Students who have been on yellow or red will not have an opportunity to receive a prize.

· Students who are on yellow or red may suffer an additional negative consequence, such as losing their recess privilege, or spending time away from the classroom.

· Parents will be notified of repeated or severe poor behavior.

· Finally, a child may be immediately excluded and/or suspended for serious behavior infractions, including fighting, throwing rocks, theft, making threats, destruction of property, and disrespect to staff members, as well as other offenses listed in the Code of Chivalry.

NO STUDENT HAS THE RIGHT TO INTERFERE WITH OTHERS’ SAFETY OR LEARNING.

Please spend some time discussing your expectations with your 3rd grader, as well as those outlined in this letter. Then, sign and return ALL pages. We are asking for your support in order for your child and his/her classmates to receive the best education possible.

Sincerely,

Scott Crellin

Homework Policy Room 501

Dear Parents,

This letter is to inform you of the Homework Program being implemented in Room 501 this year. You are asked to read it over carefully, and sign the last page, signifying that you understand and support the program.

Homework is a valuable part of the learning experience this year. Children will receive additional practice on what they have learned in school. They can extend activities from the classroom to share with their families, and they also develop responsibility and independent study habits. Unfinished classroom assignments may also be taken home to complete.

Each student will be provided with a school folder for Homework. This folder will be sent home with a homework packet each week, and must be returned with your child to school on Friday. If the folder is lost or damaged, it is your responsibility to replace it.

Homework assignments will be given every week. The expectations will be clearly explained in class. Only on rare occasions will there be no homework assigned. Homework will include work in math, reading, and spelling. In addition, all students should read for 20-30 minutes each night. Parents will be asked to verify that the homework packet is completed each week.

Students who do not finish their homework packet completely will not be eligible for the weekly prize drawing on Friday, and are expected to complete it over the weekend.

** Helpful Homework Tips **

1. Have your child complete part of the homework packet each night. I recommend that you divide the work into 4 equal portions rather than allow them to do it all early in the week or wait until the last day to complete it all. 2. Help your child to find the TIME to do the work. A specific scheduled time for homework each day is best. It is understood that certain activities minimize homework time available on some afternoons. However, learning to take responsibility and to budget time are needed skills. 3. Provide a QUIET PLACE, FREE OF DISTRACTIONS for doing homework. Include the materials your child will need: paper, pencils, ruler, eraser, etc. 4. Provide ASSISTANCE if needed. On routine and practice (such as math or other worksheet) assignments, you are not only allowed to help, but are encouraged to help. 5. Do help to make sure work is completed neatly and to the best of your child’s ability.

THE KEY TO EFFECTIVE AND SUCCESSFUL HOME STUDY IS RECOGNIZING AND ENCOURAGING THE EFFORTS OF YOUR CHILD.

Sincerely,

Scott Crellin
