Our Job vs. Your JobTeacher’s Job

• Teach all subject matter• Use creative lessons• Get to know each student

and their potential• Give 100% all the time• Treat every student as if

they were my own child• Properly prepare each

student for testing benchmarks

• Be a positive role model• Praise high efforts and

achievement

Parent’s Job• Make sure your child is fed &

bathed thoroughly daily• Ensure early bedtime!!!!!!!!

9pm• Sign weekly behavior sheets• Sign and return all necessary

paperwork in a timely manner• Get your child here everyday

& on time unless sick• Ask your child about their

day; Show an interest in them• If your child needs extra

academic review, work with them at home

Planners• Students will use their planner to keep

track of homework assignments and important due dates. We will also communicate information back and forth to you as needed in the planner. It is not necessary to sign the planner each night, however we encourage parents to look over it daily to assure your child is completing assigned homework, and to read any important notes from us.

Take Home Folder• The take home folder will serve

three purposes. It carries the weekly behavior sheet, homework, and any important papers needing to be looked at and/or signed and returned. These will be explained in more detail in the upcoming slides.

Weekly Behavior Sheets

• Students receive a new behavior sheet each quarter.

• They must never lose this report.• Behavior Sheets will be sent daily inside their take

home folder for consistent review. • 4 or more check marks in the same behavior area

will result in an “N” (needs improvement) on the citizenship portion of your child’s report card. This will go down to 3 or more checks beginning in the 2nd nine weeks.

• Please support the teacher in this area. Remind your child of how important this area is during school time.

Wednesday Envelope Each Wednesday, students will bring

home their envelopes that may contain newsletters, school flyers and/or important papers, tests, and assignments. Any papers requiring a signature should be signed and returned in the envelope on Thursday. The outside of the envelope is also to be signed by a parent/guardian.

Parent/GuardianSignatures

• We are very big on communication. You will be seeing sign and return stamps on assignments, quizzes, tests, etc. coming home in the Wednesday Envelope, and we also require Take Home Folders to be signed weekly. This is to ensure that you are aware of your child’s progress and behavior throughout the year.

Report Card Conferences

• We do expect at least one parent to attend report card conferences throughout the year.

• You may request a phone conference in lieu of face-to-face conferences.

• We will do our best to accommodate your schedule, but we absolutely want to see you support your child by showing up to the scheduled visit.

• Conference times will be set up via a sign-up sheet we will send out a week before report cards are distributed.

• Conferences only last 10-15 minutes so if you need more time, let us know in advance and we will arrange extra time.

• Your child is encouraged to attend, ask questions, and be involved with their own progress.

• We will also be participating in student-led conferences this year. More information will be sent home as conference time approaches.

Structure Within The Classroom

• Lunch time – Hill: 10:18-10:48 Hayden: 10:20-10:50

• Homework is turned in the next day unless instructed otherwise

• If your child misses school, a parent/guardian must call/email immediately and arrange to have missed work picked up if necessary. If a test is missed, we will discuss a proper day for a make-up.
