| Homework |
Periodically,
I will send homework. Homework
will need to be turned in on time otherwise 20 points will be deducted
from the grade on the assignment. If an assignment is not turned
in within a week, a "0" will be the grade given for that
assignment. I will also send
home the science book two school nights prior to a chapter test in order
to give your child time to review the unit we have been learning in
class.

| Discipline |
A
discipline notebook will be kept to record student misbehavior. If
needed, a child will sign the book if they are misbehaving. I will
also sign your child's
ROPES planner explaining what happened. That is why it is
important that you check the planner on a daily basis. If the behavior
still continues, I will send you a note or you will receive a phone
call. If after parental contact is done the child still continues
to misbehave, then the student will be referred
to the office for further consequences by the principal. A weekly
citizenship report is sent home on Tuesdays that needs to be signed and
returned on Wednesdays in the weekly folder.

| Before
School Procedures, Tardies,
Absences, and Dismissals |
- We will
continue last year's school procedure before school begins in the
mornings in
order to ensure the safety of all Ropes children. Any children
who arrive before 7:40, Mr. McNabb will keep them by the elementary
office. Beginning at 7:40, two elementary teachers will be on
duty in the hallways to monitor the kids. When children arrive
at school, they need to go to breakfast, if needed, and then go sit
by their classroom door. The two teachers will be there to
monitor the students until 7:50 when all the elementary teachers
will be available in their classrooms. Your
child is expected to be in our classroom no later than when the 8:05 bell
rings. If your child is later than 8:05, he/she will need to get a
blue slip from the office.
- If your child is absent from school,
please send a note with him/her the next day. School is dismissed
at 3:30.
- If you need to pick up your child before 3:30, you will
need to get a white slip from the office.

| Birthdays |
You
are welcome to bring cupcakes, ice cream, or whatever is your choice to
celebrate your child's birthday. Please let me know ahead of time
so I can plan for it. If any children have a summer birthday, I
like to celebrate their special day on their half-birthday. (For
example: A June 8th birthday will be celebrated on December 8th.) |
| Parties
& Field Trips |
The
two second grade classes will join together to celebrate Thanksgiving,
Christmas, Valentine's Day, and the end of school. We will also go
on several field trips throughout the school year. |
