Fifth and Sixth Grade Classroom Policies

Mr. Brown

 Classroom Procedures:

1.  Upon entering the classroom, take inventory at your seat that you have all the needed supplies to begin the day's work.

2.  Upon finishing your inventory sit quietly and read.

3.  The bulk of class time will be spent on classroom exercises, short lectures along with, group work, and in class assignments.  Any assignment not completed in class will be considered homework.

4.  At the end of class students should make sure their area is clean and neat.

 Classroom Rules:

1.  Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

2.  Be prepared for class.

3.  Please raise your hand and wait to be called on when asking a question or adding to class discussion.

4.  All school rules from the student handbook apply.

Discipline Policy:

The policies of the DCS student handbook are in effect in the 5th and 6th grade classroom. Making the right choices regarding behavior is the student's responsibility, thus we will emphasize that consequences are a result of student's wrong choices.  Students in violation of the accepted practices might find themselves with extra homework or assignments, loss of free time at recess, or other separations from the normal classroom activities.

It is expected that when we offend one another that amends should be made.  This could take the form of apologies and/or restitution.

Grading Policy:

Grades in 5th and 6th grade are earned on a percentage scale, with 70% being the lowest passing grade. (See the school handbook) Grades come from projects, short-term assignments (homework, quizzes, etc.), and tests.

Except for extreme health emergencies late assignments will only be accepted for full credit up to five school days after the due date.  It is my expectation that all assignments will be completed; those submitted on or after the sixth day will receive a 70% maximum.

Absent Policy:

If a student has been absent, he/she must check with the teacher for any missed work.
