    General Discipline Plan for 5th Grade

    “Reaching for the Stars”

    Appropriate classroom behavior is a must for a successful learning environment.  Students are expected to behave appropriately and to follow classroom rules and procedures.  These rules are posted in the classroom or on teacher websites or are provided to parents/students.  Our expectations for all students are below.  Each student starts each semester with 100 points for their conduct grade.  Points will be deducted for each class/school rule students break.  Remaining points will be their conduct grade.

     

    1.  Have all appropriate materials and supplies (homework and classwork) at your table and come prepared to work hard and do your best each day.

    2.  Respect the people, equipment, and furnishings in our classroom and in any room or hall at Freedom Park School.

    3.  Adjust your voice level and conversation topic to support the location and activity.

    4.  Follow directions the first time they are given.

    5.  Observe all school and classroom rules.

     

    Every child starts in the GREEN.  However, if a student chooses to break a rule, the below policy will apply.
