Weekly Citizenship Grade

With a recent decline is motivation to do our best efforts, and in an effort to prepare the students for the many expectations, responsibilities, and privileges that come with moving on to middle school, your child will receive one citizenship grade per week for the next four weeks. **This will be in addition to earning Brown Bucks as a school-wide behavior plan.

All students with 85% or higher for a citizen grade for the week will receive one extra recess on Friday afternoons. This will allow the students who continually follow their life skills and life-long guidelines to be rewarded for those efforts.

 

My hope is that this new system will stress to the students that fun activities, such as the Indians baseball trip, Field Day, Marsville, and our class picnic party are privileges, or rewards, for students who follow classroom and school expectations. Should any one student struggle to note these privileges, his or her parent will be notified and special rewards could be at risk.

All students will start the week with a 100% A+ for citizenship. The following are possible reasons for a decrease of 5% for each issue, but are not limited to this list: 

• Not following classroom rules/expectations
• Using inappropriate language or tone
• Being unkind to others
• Being told more than one time to do something
• Not following hallway or lunchroom and recess rules
• Not following specials’ class rules
