Eaton Elementary Reaching for the Stars! (GREAT
ATTENDANCE)
Attendance Policy With the passing of No Child
Left Behind by the Federal Government, monitoring
of students attendance has become more intense,
resulting in higher accountability for both
schools and parents. Students are expected to be
in class every day. Regular daily attendance is
the responsibility of the parent/guardian and the
student. Frequent absences of students from
regular classroom instruction mean the child
loses the opportunity to learn. Educational
achievement cannot be measured only by test
results and assignments, but must include daily
class participation as well. Parents need to
encourage students to maintain good attendance.
(Eaton Elementary handbook)
Promotion policy In order to be promoted to the
next grade, the student must demonstrate 1.
Mastery of 70 of the current grades tested
basic skills in reading and math 2. Passing
grades in reading, English, and math 3.
Satisfactory attendance (no more than 21
absences) 4. Acquisition of the work habits and
maturity for successful performance at the next
grade level, according to the teachers judgment
based on documentation. (Eaton elementary
handbook)

The teachers at Eaton strive for the best in
their students and in themselves. They are
continually attending workshops and furthering
their own education to improve student learning.

• Fundraising Rocket Romp, a walk-a-thon event
  held on school grounds, is Eaton Elementary only
  fundraiser, and the proceeds go directly to the
  school for the betterment of your childs
  education. Funds have been used to buy new
  technology systems computers, playground
  equipment, physical education equipment, art and
  music supplies, and classroom supplies including
  educational software. Rainbow Romp has two main
  goals to raise much-needed money for the school
  and to promote physical fitness. Students collect
  pledges for every lap they jog or walk in one
  hour. According to Loudon County School Board
  Policy, we require that students do not go
  door-to-door selling. Instead, utilize your
  network of friends, co-workers, and relatives to
  help support your school. Thank you for your
  support in this worthwhile endeavor. (Eaton

Eaton Elementary Watch Us SOAR!Academics

• Loudon County Schools elementary curriculum is a
  plan for teaching your children the skills they
  will need to live in and contribute to society.
• We believe that all children can learn and that
  each child is different. Thus, the curriculum is
  continually being revised to provide each child a
  challenge to learn the continuum of skills and
  concepts.
• These skills and concepts constitute a very
  thorough and carefully sequenced program of
  Instruction.
• Classroom teachers have detailed lists of the
  basic skills they teach at that grade level, and
  they will share them with you if you express an
  interest.
• Guidance, art, music, library skills, physical
  education, technology, and Spanish instruction
  are all important to our students development,
  and we operate full programs in these areas.
• The major academic areas include reading,
  mathematics, English,
• spelling, handwriting, science, and social
  studies.

  childs teacher. Kindergarten grade cards are
  issued five times each year.
• 2) The grading scale for grades 2-4 is
• A 93-100
• B 85-92
• C 75-84
• D 70-74
• F Below 70

  each week with samples of important papers,
  notes, newsletters, etc. It requires a parent
  signature and prompt return.

continue(8 different ways)
5) Skill Checklists Teachers keep records of
state curriculum skills for each child to
determine mastery and identify areas for
enrichment or reteaching. 6) STAR Early
Literacy, Reading, Math Assessment This
computer program provides an evaluation of
student mastery and provides teachers with data
for individualized instruction plans. 7) Yearly
Progress Pro This is an online benchmark
assessment tool that allows students to take
computer tests on grade level math, language, and
reading skills. Teachers use this data for
prescriptive, specific planning for
instruction. 8) TCAP Each year students in
grades 1-4 participate in the Tennessee
Comprehensive Assessment Program achievement
tests. These individual student results are
reported to parents, and school results appear
on the state web site.

SCHOOL-WIDE RULES 1) Follow directions 2) Stay in
assigned areas 3) Keep hands, feet, and objects
to yourself 4) No name calling, abusive language,
bullying, or teasing 5) Respect and protect
school and student property

• What about Discipline?
• This entire handbook is about discipline.
  Discipline means nothing more than doing
• what is expected and what you already know you
  should do. Discipline is primarily your
  responsibility. Do not make it necessary for
  someone else to accept responsibility for your
  actions. One of our goals at Eaton is to
  establish an atmosphere throughout the school in
  which children feel safe, happy, and have a
  maximum opportunity to learn. The entire staff at
  Eaton Elementary cares about you, respects you as
  an individual, and expects nothing more than that
  you do your best!

Check student planner or Eaton handbook
(www.loudoncounty.org) for a more in-depth look
at Eaton's expectations.

Eaton Elementary Watch Us SOAR!Attendance and
Truancy

• Truancy
• Every absence exceeding five parent notes will
  only be excused with a doctor, dental, medical
  provider, or court note. Students who obtain an
  equivalent of five unexcused total days will
  receive a letter stating that they have violated
  the states compulsory attendance laws and may be
  summoned to the Loudon County Truancy Board. The
  Truancy Board will hear his/her case and
• decide the appropriate action. It is important to
  note that many of these cases are forwarded to
  the Juvenile Court system.
