+Classroom Information Planner Procedures- Your child should be writing in their planner first thing in each class. The planner includes all of their assignments and test dates. Please look at this frequently. Behavior Policy- Tallies are given on clipboards for each class throughout the week. They are then written in your child s Friday Folder. Please ask your child for this each Friday, sign it and return it on Monday. It will give you an idea of how your child did for that week. In addition, extenuating circumstances may require an immediate parent phone call. Also, if your child receives a referral, you will also be contacted. Receiving two or more referrals in a semester will prevent your child from going on any field trips scheduled in that semester.
