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!
