“Love and Logic
To create and maintain a positive learning environment for all students, I will use the following “Love and Logic” behavior policy:
I Believe:
1. Treat students with dignity and respect at all times.
2. Guide students to own and solve their own problems.
3. Use Love & Logic (empowering) skills. This is, I am going to hand students’ problems back to them with guidance to own and solve.
4. Us logical consequences instead of punishment when possible.
5. Treat problem behavior as a learning opportunity.
6. Refer chronic/severe/illegal behavior to the office.
7. Grant students and parents a conference when requested.

Snack
Students are allowed to have their snack at
anytime during the day. Please have your child
bring a healthy snack to school everyday.
I do allow water bottles in the classroom.
However JRE does not allow other drinks.
Homework Assignment Book
How to use the homework assignment book:
Parents need to check the notebook every night. The notebook
must be returned to school everyday.
1. Check and sign homework assignment book
2. Review spelling words
3. Do all homework, have student put homework back in
return to school folder when completed.
4. Return the blue homework folder daily.
5. Please remove papers from homework folder that are in
the keep at home side.
Assignment Books
The assignment book is another way that provides a connection
between parent and teacher and teaches student’s
responsibility. It is also the best way to communicate with me as
I check them every morning. Students should fill out their
assignment book each day as I model what needs to be written.
During the first couple of months, I will check each student’s
assignment book before going home to make sure they are
completely filled out. At times during the year, students may
become lazy when filling these out. You should expect to see
something written every day. It is imperative that assignment
books are initialed each evening by a parent/guardian. Do not
initial until you have seen the completed assignments. After
students sign in for attendance and lunch, I will check their
assignment books to make sure they are completely filled out,
that it contains a parent’s initials, and that their homework is
complete.
Friday folders:
White envelopes are sent home every Friday,
and these folders contain both important
information from the school, PTO, and
classroom. This envelope needs to be
emptied, signed and returned on Monday.
Good communication between us is important
for coordinating home/school efforts in the
best interest of your child. If necessary, other
papers and notes may be sent home on
another days.

Appointments:
• Please remember to sign your child in/out at the
office when appointments or other events arise.
The office will then call to the classroom for
your child. I am not able to send your child to
the office at a specific time until you arrive and
notify the office. This helps to minimize
classroom disruptions and follows school safety
procedures.

Everyone is invited to attend our holiday parties.
Students will bring home a slip asking you to
donate the idem they have volunteered you for.
