Classroom Policies - Procedures - Rules 2010-2011

HOMEWORK SHEET
Every week, students will receive a homework sheet.  Some assignments and due dates will be printed on these.  Students are responsible for writing down any additional assignments or any work they did not finish in class.

HANDWRITING
All work will be done in cursive script.  If your child did not receive instruction in cursive, please let me know and I will make some practice sheets to help them learn.

LATE WORK
All late work will be penalized as follows:
  One day late -  11 points will be deducted.
  Two days late -  21 points will be deducted.
  Three or more days late -  grade given will be zero

ABSENCES – Make up Work
•  All students are responsible for getting make-up work after an absence.  All journals and at home reading should be done even when absent.  Please notify me if you know your child is going to be out of school ahead of time.  It is also helpful to pick up assignments on the date of the absence. 

CHEATING
Cheating on homework, daily assignments, quizzes, or tests will result in a ZERO!


CORRECTIONS
If a student receives a grade on daily work below 70, the student may correct the assignment to improve their grade.  The paper must be fully corrected and returned to me in a timely manor.   Final corrected grade will depend on the assignment, the corrections and the original grade received.  I reserve the right to limit the amount of corrections I will accept from each student.

Mrs. Miller’s Classroom Expectations

If it is not yours, don’t touch it.
Walk, don’t run, at all times in the building or in line.
Ask permission to leave your seat.
Do not talk while others are talking, working, or reading.
Do what your teacher says quickly.

Students will have a star to keep in their MOOSE book zipper pouch.   If there is a behavior problem, they must turn in the star to me for the day.  This is a quick way for you to know how your child is behaving.  I will also try and write  a note to you and place it in the zipper pouch in place of the star, especially if the behavior is excessive. 

Consequences:

1st Offense: Verbal Warning 
2nd Offense: Verbal Warning / Turn in STAR to teacher
3rd Offense:  Classroom punishment as determined by teacher, contact parent
4th Offense:  Referral to Principal
