Letter For Parents - Classroom Behaviour Plan
Tuesday, September 4, 2012. Dear Parents/Guardians; Hello, my name is Mr. Grant and it is with great pleasure to have your child in my grade 5 class for the 2012/2013 year. I just want to let you know that I’ll do whatever it takes to ensure your child is in a positive environment where he/she can learn to the fullest and an environment where everyone can feel comfortable in. I like to make my classes entertaining and at the same time, insightful with a strong look at academics and where your child will be able to get along with everyone in the class. In order to do this, it is essential your child understands that the foundation in my class is built on respect. A respectful environment leads to greater student success. Here are my expectations, rewards, and consequences. __Rules __ Rules will be explained throughout the first week and will also be posted throughout my classroom. The rules will be enforced gradually as students get accustomed to the rules as the year progresses. Some rules will be set in stone such as raising your hand and respecting your peers. Other rules such as handing out textbooks or worksheets will be done on a rotating basis for the students. That way each student will be given something to do as not feel left out. __Rewards __ Students will be given the oppourtunity to receive Grant’s money. This type of reward allows students to earn money depending on what good deeds they do in class whether it’s behaving and setting an excellent example for the other students, completing homework, or helping out around the classroom. Students can then use the money to purchase items at any time. __Consequences __ Consequences will occur for not following classroom rules. Some possible consequences include taking away recess time or writing a letter to me indicating what your child did and ways to resolve the issue. If the negative behaviour continues, a phone call will be made to you and we’ll discuss what steps need to be taken. I’m always available to be reached at by e-mail at andrewgrant@schoolboard.on.ca. I’ll also give progress reports via. e-mail so you’ll always know what your child is doing, the homework that needs to be completed, and anything else of importance.
