Please go over these rules with your student. Respect is the key word! Our goal is to help these children grow up to be respectful, responsible adults.

PRIVACY POLICY With your permission we will occasionally have students in the class correct the work of other students. This practice has an important educational purpose in that it allows students to consider problem solving that may be different than their own and to gather feedback on their writing activities. Volunteers and/or aides may also help with this. This allows the teacher to use her planning and class time more effectively. Student volunteers may also help sort corrected assignments for students to take home. If there is a test with a poor score, the teacher will sort this assignment separately. In order to encourage good behavior, a visible responsibility chart is displayed. Student work may also be displayed student.
