Check-ins after 12:15 PM will count as a school absence for that day.
Early Check-outs
This is defined as when a parent, guardian, or other person having charge or control of a student authorizes a student to leave the facility before the end of the school day (3:20 PM). ONLY PREVIOUSLY authorized people will be able to check-out a student---a Photo ID is REQUIRED. We request that early check-outs be kept to a minimum to avoid disruption of the instructional day.
Once buses are on the curb, you are not able to pass the buses and will be detained from leaving.
... Responsible
Make good choices.
Take care of yourself. Help when needed. Keep up with your books, pencils, jackets, etc. Complete work on time. Listen and follow directions.
Resourceful
Come to class prepared for success.
Have necessary materials (paper, pencil, planner, book, etc.
Try to solve problems or locate needed information on your own before asking the teacher for help. Use materials wisely, recycling where possible.
Consequences
Should a student choose not to follow rules and meet behavior expectations, there will be consequences.
Examples: Choice Cards will be marked and taken home for a parents signature. Students will have time out on the playground for marks on a Choice Card. Parent phone calls will be made if a student does not correct the inappropriate behavior.
Each class will work for compliments. As compliments are awarded, the teacher will place a letter outside the classroom door to spell WILDCAT.
Compliments will be awarded for outstanding behavior from the entire class. All staff members are eligible to award compliments for every class.
