Dear Parents,
I am honored for the opportunity to have your son/daughter in my class this year. I am dedicated to making this an exciting and productive year for each student. As I firmly believe that self-discipline is crucial to the success of any student, I utilize a Classroom Discipline Plan that includes CCS's discipline policy and a few additional guidelines.
The plan is designed to allow each student the opportunity to control his or her own behavior. Your child deserves the best possible learning environment for academic growth. The purpose of the following plan is to help students to work together with me to create this type of atmosphere in the classroom.
BEHAVIOR GUIDELINES: All students are to:
1. Follow directions the first time they are given.
2. Be in the classroom and seated before the bell begins to ring.
3. Bring all assigned materials (assigned work, textbook, notebook, etc.) to class every day.
4. Stay in their seats unless given permission to get up.
5. Keep hands, feet, and all objects to themselves.
EARNED PRTVLEGES:
To encourage and motivate the students to follow the rules, I will reward proper behavior with:
1. Individual rewards such as verbal praises, positive notes, homework passes and extra credit.
2. Class wide rewards such as open discussion time, drawing for prizes and taking a question off a test.
EARNED CONSEQUENCES:
If a student chooses not to follow the rules, consequences will be as follows. Note all consequences are cumulative. Each new consequence is in addition to consequences previously imposed.
First Offence- name checked once = warning. .
Second Offence - name checked twice = student will see me after class.
Third Offence - name checked three times = student write a note to their parent explaining why they committed the offence. Subsequent offences = 1 day detention.
Severe disruption - student is immediately sent to the principal.
I have already discussed the Plan with the students, but I would appreciate it if you reviewed the Plan with your child, then sign and return the accompanying form. I will be contacting you from time to time this year to keep you up- to-date on your child's progress. Please feel free to contact me at any time.
Sincerely,
Mike Demchak
