Behavior Expectations
In the first week of school, students developed their own code of conduct:
- Respect yourself, others, and property
- Be kind, safe, participate and cooperate
- Try your hardest
Refocus forms will be issued after a warning when students disrupt the classroom
- environment. Parents will receive an email
when their child has received a refocus form.
Refocus Forms
- Should a student receive three refocus forms, a
parent-teacher-student conference will be requested.
- Once five refocus forms have been issued, the student
will lose a fifth grade privilege.
- Students on Tech Crew, News Team or Safety Patrol
may receive additional consequences. Please contact
- Mr. Harvey or Mr. Richards for details.
