Good Evening first grade families,
Happy Friday! Please see additional information regarding your child’s blue homework folder (clip/behavior chart) that was sent home today.We have introduced the clip chart today! This is our positive behavior management system that will help the first graders make good choices throughout the week. The colors are as follows:
Pink– SUPER STUDENT!
Purple– Awesome Behavior
Blue– Good choices
Green– Ready to Learn
Yellow– Think about it
Orange– Teacher Choice
Red- Parent Contact
Every child starts off the day on, “Ready to Learn” (green). Students can clip up for making good choices. Students may clip down for making poor choices in the classroom.
Every day, students will come home with a behavior/homework chart (placed in their homework folder, inside the clear sheet protector) . They will fill in the color they finished the day on in the classroom. Parents/guardians are asked to sign their behavior chart every day to ensure you are informed on your child’s progress. This will then be entered into Gradelink every end of the week.**This will be explained in more depth at Back to School Night on Sept 8!!!**
Students should return their blue homework folder to school every day WITH their signed behavior chart . A bin will be placed outside the first grade classroom every morning for these folders. They should be placed in number order. This should be done as soon as they hang their backpacks.
Please help me encourage our first graders to be independent, they should be able to hang their own back packs & put the homework folders in the bin by themselves. This will be part of our first grade morning routine.
Return & Sign documents
There are important papers that parents must fill up and sign, please check your child’s homework folder. Please return it tomorrow, Friday Aug. 27. The documents that need to be signed includes, school pick up form, Christian code of Conduct and CPLA form.
Keep at home documents
In the back pocket of your child’s folder, there’s a keep at home documents. Please keep those documents at home, students tend to get overwhelmed with all the papers in their folders. I included our daily schedule, scholastic info & some log in information.
Tardy
Parents, if your child is not in school before the bell rings (7:50am). They will be marked late/tardy. Make sure to come to school before the bell. Please do not drop students off before 7:30am. Teachers on morning duty will be out at 7:30am to supervise.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions/ concerns.
Warmly,
Ms. Martinez
