ANNOUNCEMENTS

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD HAS A BOTTLE OF WATER EVERY DAY AT SCHOOL.

Discipline Plan

     A safe, positive environment is important to each child's academic success.  We believe that this discipline plan will afford each student guidance in making good decisions about his/her behavior.  We hope to make a difference in the decision each student will make relevant to his/her behavior.  Your child deserves the most positive educational climate possible.  The plan below follows Autauga County's district-wide discipline plan.  It outlines our classroom rewards and consequences for appropriate and inappropriate behavior.

     This year we will be using a "point" system for behavior.  Each day, each student will begin with 3 points IN EACH CLASS.  If a student demonstrates a negative behavior, he/she will lose a point in the class he/she is currently in and it will be recorded in the behavior notebook.  The student will receive a consequence for each point lost:

        1 point - verbal warning

        2 points - loss of brain break

        3 points - loss of brain break, silent lunch, and a discipline step

*At the end of the week, each point lost is 5 minutes taken from Free Friday time.

For each step your child receives on his/her office referral, the following consequences apply:

          Step 1:  Student/Teacher conference

          Step 2:  Parent Notification

          Step 3:  Parent/Teacher/Administrator Conference

          Step 4:  Office Referral

**We will also keep you updated in Parent Square each time our child receives a step.

***Steps will reset at the end of the semester.

B I O G R A P H Y

This is my  28th year in the classroom and I have enjoyed every minute of it!  I have experience teaching 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th grades.  I have taught in private and public schools.  I am from Prattville and graduated from PHS in 1986.  I have a husband, 4 sons, 2 daughters-in-law, and 7 grandchildren.  I enjoy reading, puzzles, board games, salty snacks, sweet tea, and spending time with my family.  

I believe in challenging students to reach their highest potential in a positive, nurturing environment.  I am looking forward to a fantastic year working with you and your child!
