Classroom Expectations & Class Dojo
Create a Positive Community
Respect Each Other
Excell Everyday
Work Together
In our classroom, we use ClassDojo to record and share student behaviors. ClassDojo encourages students to work hard, listen, and participate by earning points. If students are not meeting expectations, they will loose points. As an incentive, students can use their points to earn classroom coupons or treats out of the treat jar. I’ll also use ClassDojo to communicate with you: we can instantly share text messages, updates, and photos from class. It’s the easiest way for you to see how your child is doing each day at school. If you would like to learn more about ClassDojo, please visit www.classdojo.com/learnmore.

Homework Policy:
I see homework as a review for the students to reinforce what we are learning in class. Your student will have homework Monday-Thursday (with a few exceptions). It should not take your student more than 30 minutes to complete their homework. If this becomes a recurring problem, please let me know! Students who do not complete their homework at home will be asked to complete their homework during their lunch or free time. Each day students come to school with their completed homework, they will earn a Dojo point that morning.
Health & Wellness Policy:
The new Health and Wellness Policy for India Hook states that food/snack items will no longer be allowed for celebration purposes including birthdays and holidays with the exception of Valentine’s Day.
South Carolina Department of Health Guidelines and Exclusion Policy:
-Your child needs to be fever free for 24 hours, without the use of fever reducing medication, before returning to school. A fever is classified as 100.0 under the arm, or 101 orally.
