• Effort is key.

• Please set aside a time and place for your child to complete their homework.

• It is important to let them know how important you think school is. Your attitude is contagious!

Page 18: Welcome to Team Dedication!

Homework Policy• 1st = Warning and complete in HW Support

• 2nd = Highlight in Assignment Book and HW Support

• 3rd = Homework Support (Student will Call Home)

• 4th = Homework Support• 5th = Homework Support (Student will Call Home)

• At the 5th missed HW…steps will be taken to help find a more effective solution

*Starts fresh each marking period

Page 19: Welcome to Team Dedication!

BIR = Behavior Incident Report

Rewards each marking period for all students who went an entire marking period without any BIR’s

BUS behavior = BIR

Behavior Policy

Issues handled within team... (most are)

A tangible reminder for what behaviors are not acceptable and discussion on how to make better choices in the future

When issues are repetitive and severely disruptive to learning or severe, it must move to the next level and require more serious consequences...

*Missing the SWEBS reward is not the consequence…the reward simply was not EARNED. The behavior will warrant a consequence at the time of the infraction (ie: lunch detention, recess detention, suspension, etc)

Page 20: Welcome to Team Dedication!

On Team Behavior Policy

1st Strike = warning2nd Strike = BIG warning3rd Strike = phone call home4th Strike = involve others to develop a plan

Verbal warnings are given for most behaviors before strikes are assigned.

The goal is to help the children keep track of their own behaviors and progress to make positive changes. Incentives will be given!!!

Kids start fresh each week!!

Page 21: Welcome to Team Dedication!

Marking Period Reward System

Combining BEHAVIOR and RESPONSIBILITY to reward the “whole student.”

If STRIKES + MISSED HOMEWORK ≤ predetermined number they will earn our reward!

This expectation will increase each marking period.
