We expect students to follow all school rules and the Code of Conduct.
Our 1st grade rules are: Be Respectful Be Responsible Be Safe
We spend extensive time the first weeks of school reviewing rules and procedures.
Positive Reinforcement We strongly believe that students are best motivated by positive reinforcement because it promotes a culture of encouragement and caring. Teachers utilize ClassDojo to provide specific positive feedback throughout the day.
Class Rewards Group rewards promote teamwork and collaboration. Each 1st grade teacher has unique systems for rewarding the entire class for a job well done. These may include, “Compliments”, “Catching BUG’s”, “Table Points” etc.
Daily Reports and Consequences 1st grade utilizes a color system to report daily behavior.
Blue = Above and Beyond! Wow, you were SUPER impressive today!
Green= Great job! You are following all the rules.
Yellow= You have had 3 reminders to make a better choice. A “Think It Over” sheet has been completed and attached to your agenda. Please review this at home with your child, sign, and return it tomorrow.
Red= You have had more than 3 reminders regarding behavior, or a major infraction (lying, stealing, physically harming another etc.) A “Problem Solving” form has been completed with your teacher. Please review this at home with your child, sign, and return to school. Parent contact will be made.
Students color their report from both their English and Spanish teacher each day in their agenda. Please review and initial each day.
