Classroom Policies
Related Arts and Conduct Calendars
The calendar will be used as a parent-teacher communication log and related arts calendar. Also, this is where information will be written regarding any behavior issues. If nothing is written on the calendar, then your child received an S for the day. It is the parent’s responsibility to check calendars every day.
Attendance
Please refer to the student handbook for details. Be sure to send a note to school if your child is absent, checks in or checks out. All absences will be considered unexcused if no note is presented to the teacher within five days of the absence. Please include the following information on your notes (or use one of the pre-copied templates):
Bathroom Breaks
Students are given plenty of opportunities throughout the day to take restroom breaks. If your child has a medical concern, please let us know.
Dismissal
Car Riders: 2:30 1st Load: 2:35 SACC: 2:50
2nd Load: Upon arrival of buses
“Family Access”
We strongly encourage every parent/guardian to sign up for “Family Access,” which is our online gradebook system. Completed work will be sent home on Wednesdays, but you may always check “Family Access” to ensure that all papers are making it home to you. You can request a “Family Access” application in the school’s front office. Your application will need to be completed and returned to school in order to receive your login information.
Graded Assignments
Students will complete graded assignments throughout the week. Students will also be tested monthly on sight word fluency. The monthly sight word list can be found in the student’s binder. Graded papers will be sent home the following week once they have been graded and reviewed. Please sign the graded paper log and return the graded papers and graded paper log to school the next day your child attends class. All assignments will be weighted equally.
Please take note of the grading scale: A: 100-93 B: 92-85 C: 84-75 D: 74-70 F: 69-0
Incomplete Work
Students will be given ample time to finish class work. There will be times when incomplete assignments will be graded “as is.” Lost assignments or work that is not turned in will not be replaced and will result in a 0.
Money
When you send money to school, please always send exact change. We will not be able to provide change. If you have more than one child in the school, you should not combine funds into one check. Please label any money that is sent to school. Money should be in the zipper pouch of the student binder.
Newsletters
Newsletters will go home in your student’s binder every week. The newsletter will include information specific to that particular week such as weekly topics, etc. Newsletters will also be available on the class website.
Snacks
Please send a snack with your child each day. Please be mindful that we may be working while eating. Messy snacks will NOT be permitted. Microwaves and refrigerators are NOT available for student use. Water, without any type of flavoring, is the only drink allowed and must be in a spill-proof container.
Class Dojo
It is imperative that parents of all learners sign up for your child’s Class Dojo account. I will use this as our main source of communication.
*For any other policies / procedures, please consult the Tipton County Student Handbook and weekly newsletters.

If nothing is written on the calendar, then your child received an S for the day. It is the parent’s responsibility to check calendars every day. If your child behaved in a way that was a safety concern, I will write that for you. If your child required consequences throughout the day, I will write that for you as well so you can discuss the behaviors with them.
