Listed below is an explanation of our classrooms
behavior management system. Please read, sign,
and return this sheet to school tomorrow. Clip
Chart A Simple Discipline Strategy for Promoting
Positive Behavior READY TO LEARN-All students
clothespins will be clipped here at the start of
each school day. Students have the opportunity
throughout the day to clip up. Students will be
able to clip up for making positive choices. For
example, helping a friend, following directions,
taking pride in their work, etc. They can clip
up to GOOD DAY, GREAT JOB AND OUTSTANDING. If a
student clips up for good behavior, they will get
a sticker on their sticker chart. If they get
ten stickers on their sticker chart, they get a
prize. Students will have to clip down for
inappropriate behavior. They can clip down to
THINK ABOUT IT which is just a warning no
consequence will be given. They can clip down to
TEACHERS CHOICE which is five minutes off from
recess. If they clip down to PARENT CONTACT, you
will be contacted and they will have to miss ten
minutes off from recess. Please keep in mind
that a student can clip back up for good behavior
once they have clipped down. They always have
the chance to make better choices even if they
have made a poor one. If a student is clipping
down on a regular basis, we may need to contact
you regarding a behavior plan that will be sent
home with your child. We look forward to a great
year together with your children.

Dear Families,   The first week was a success.
Students are learning our routines, expectations,
and rules. Please join us at Parents As Partners
on Tuesday, September 16th at 630 to 700 or
710 to 740. At this time we will review our
classroom procedures, expectations, classwork,
and homework.   Thank you for the overwhelming
amount of donations of extra supplies. We
appreciate them all!   It is important that you
review with your children their lunch codes.
This is their student ID number. This will help
the lunch line and lunch go more smoothly. Also,
this code will be used for Raz Kids and math
on-line access. If you do not know their code
please let us know and we will provide it for
you.   Parents Signature and Comments

Dear Families, This letter is to inform you
that there is a new school-wide policy being
implemented this 2014-2015 school year by our
principal Mr. Olavarria. Mr. Olavarria is asking
that you send in alternatives to cupcakes if you
would like to celebrate your childs birthday in
school. For your convenience, we have provided a
list below of things you could bring in for the
class to substitute cupcakes or any other food
items stickers bookmarks mini erasers pencil
cap erasers pencil grips glue sticks
Another great alternative is to donate a book to
the classroom and we can read it the day of your
childs birthday or if the child is able and
willing, he or she can read the book to the class
on his or her birthday. Please if you have any
questions or concerns, please feel free to
contact Mr. Olavarria. Thank you.

We would appreciate any parents that would love
to help us out. We will need parents to photo
copy or do small tasks for the classroom. If you
would be interested in helping we would love your
support. Please see the sign up sheet and write
a down a day of the week, month, and time that
would be convenient for you. We will also need
parents to help organize holiday celebrations and
crafts. Sign up forms are on the desk outside
the door. Thank you for your support !
