6th Grade Team Rules and Expectations:
1. Respect your teachers, peers, and yourself.
2. Always come to class prepared (bring your binder/folder, books, red pen, pencil and homework).
3. Do your own work and do it neatly.
4. Be on time!
5. DO YOUR BEST!!
· Be on your best behavior for a substitute teacher, as student names left by a sub will be given an automatic detention.
· All hardback textbooks must be covered.
· Do what is asked of you the FIRST time it is asked.
Scorebook
In order to help students, parents, and teachers become aware of little issues before they become BIG issues, each sixth grade teacher keeps track of students who come to class late, or without materials or assignments when they are due. These records are combined so that we can get a better overall picture of what is happening with these students in all classes. We call this system of record keeping the “Scorebook”.
In addition to identifying problems, the “Scorebook” allows us to also reward successful students with weekly intramural time, Spartan Star Cards, auction points, and invitations to our End of the Quarter Luncheon Parties. We hope that these opportunities will encourage who need to improve in these areas, to strive to do their best every single day.
Here’s how it works:
· Students sign the scorebook when they fail to comply with teacher expectations and requirements, such as coming to class unprepared, failing to complete assignments, or minor behavior issues. (Major behavior issues can result in detention or a meeting with Mrs. Poole)
· Each week, Ms. Lacon and Mrs. Snell collects each teacher’s scorebook and creates a running account of each student’s signings.
· Three signatures will result in a loss of intramurals that week.
· Five signatures will result in a loss of intramurals and a lunch detention during that week.
· More than five signatures will result in a loss of intramurals, lunch detention, and a morning detention on the following Tuesday.
· Three signatures for strictly missing homework, will result in a morning detention on the following Tuesday. Repeated failure to complete homework assignments may result in a referral to Mrs. Poole.
· Students who are not successful with class preparation or organization will join our “Organizationally Challenged Group” for extra help and hints on “how to be organized and love it!”
Other related possibilities and concerns:
· Each assigned detention will result in a loss of intramurals.
· Any assigned discipline by Mrs. Poole can result in the loss of intramurals.
· Out-of-school suspensions will result in the loss of intramurals and exclusion from Sixth Grade Camping Trip.
· Any students with F’s during Third Quarter will also be excluded from the Sixth Grade Camping Trip.
End of Quarter Lunch Party Details
· Students who sign three or fewer times, and have no detentions or suspensions during a quarter, are invited to bring their food to Mr. Hart’s room and watch TV while eating lunch. The sixth grade teachers supply desserts and hold a cash prize drawing for three lucky students.
