Behavior Management Plan
Regarding behavior within and outside the classroom, we will be using Classroom Dojo. It is a program that will count points for good behavior and send notifications to parents on behavioral issues.
It is the responsibility of the school and me to maintain a safe environment for each student to learn, bullying is not acceptable regardless of the excuse. If there are any concerns, contact me on my "Contact Me" page via phone or email.
If you would like to learn about Classroom Dojo, please check out this 1-minute video.

Parent Involvement
Parents are welcome to donate items from the newsletter such as tissues, expo markers, and snacks. It is not required but greatly appreciated. Classroom parents are welcome!
Parents are also welcome to participate in a little presentation regarding their careers on Fridays. It is called the Career Expose where students may get to learn about their Parents' jobs in science and/or math. This is an opportunity for students to engage in careers and also notice how Math and Science are used in the real world. If you are interested, please contact me and we may discuss what we can do. It is not required but would be awesome for the students to hear about how the information they learn can be used within the real world.
All parents must go through the Front Office to be allowed entrance to the classroom.
