All about Fourth Grade “Teamwork makes a dream

work!”

• This is a transitional year, not just a “review” year.

• Use the file to organize and monitor progress. • Check agenda and work nightly.• Homework is due at 7:50. Please do not bring

your child’s homework to school. They need to learn to be responsible for their work.

• Please keep absences to a minimum. We cover an immense amount of content each day. Please try to make appointments as late as you can.

Our Daily Routine• School starts at 7:50. Please come prepared. If

your child is tardy, you must sign him/her in the office.

• Class work-I expect 100% effort!• Homework-Should not last over 40 minutes. There

is usually reading and math every night. • Makeup work-A yellow makeup folder will be sent

home with the missing assignments. How ever many days your child was absent is how many days he/she needs to make the work up.

• Lunch is at 11:45. We have snack at 9:15. Please provide only appropriate snacks and water bottles that are spill proof.

A Little More about Behavior…• I believe that everyone can succeed in my class. I hold my students

to high expectations. I expect ALL students to come ready to learn! Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. Each and every one of us is responsible for our own actions. Remember, every action has a consequence-both the good and the bad.

• The school wide behavior plan will be enforced in my classroom. Students that misbehave will face the following consequences: he/she will first be given a warning, second he/she will be sent to another teacher’s room if the misbehavior continues, next will be an infraction/parent phone call, a second infraction followed by an after school detention, and a third infraction will result in an office referral.
