The most important thing that you
can do with your child is READ- Let
them read to you or read to
them…….. Reading is the key to
success!

Listed below is an explanation of our classroom’s behavior management system. Please read,
sign, and return this sheet to school tomorrow.
Clip Chart
“A Simple Discipline Strategy for Promoting Positive Behavior”
READY TO LEARN-All students’ clothespins will be clipped here at the start of each school day.
Students have the opportunity throughout the day to clip up. Students will be able to clip up for
making positive choices. For example, helping a friend, following directions, taking pride in their
work, etc. They can clip up to GOOD DAY, GREAT JOB AND OUTSTANDING. If a student clips
up for good behavior, they will get a sticker on their sticker chart. If they get ten stickers on their
sticker chart, they get a prize.
Students will have to clip down for inappropriate behavior. They can clip down to THINK ABOUT
IT which is just a warning no consequence will be given. They can clip down to TEACHER’S
CHOICE which is five minutes off from recess. If they clip down to PARENT CONTACT, you will
be contacted and they will have to miss ten minutes off from recess. Please keep in mind that a
student can clip back up for good behavior once they have clipped down. They always have the
chance to make better choices even if they have made a poor one.
If a student is clipping down on a regular basis, we may need to contact you regarding a behavior
plan that will be sent home with your child.
We look forward to a great year together with your children.
Room 11’s Classroom Guidelines
Homework
Your child’s will come home every Monday with a cover sheet. The cover sheet will have the weekly homework. In
addition, it will have any important information, dates, or updates. This is also a great communication tool for both of us.
Please SIGN the sheet and return it to us on Tuesday. We will then send it back home Tuesday night.
HOMEWORK POLICY- REQUIRED NIGHTLY READING
Your child will be assigned homework nightly. Checking your child’s homework for accuracy, neatness, and completion is
strongly advised. The purpose of homework is to reinforce new concepts or previously skills taught.
The reading logs will go home on every Friday and should be returned the following Friday. Remember your child should
be reading 20 minutes a night for 4 nights. Students must log the title, author, and parents must INITIAL NIGHTLY.
Students will write about what they read for only Wed. or Thurs. nights. Students can complete it ahead of time or read
over the weekend. They just must read 4 nights a week for 20 minutes.
Students that have earned “NO HOMEWORK PASSES” these may be used on only 1 assignment / subject.
CLASSWORK COMPLETION
Classwork should be completed during the school day. Occasionally incomplete tasks will be completed at recess or sent
home to finish.
ABSENT WORK
If your child is absent, missed assignments should be made up and returned to the teacher. Work will be sent home
with their “Homework Buddy”. If your child does not have a Homework Buddy, please come to school and pick up their work
at the homework table located by the main office. It is important that the student’s make up work, so that they are not
overwhelmed when they return to school.

Dear Families,
The first week was a success. Students are learning our routines, expectations, and rules.
Please join us at Parents As Partners on Tuesday, September 16th at 6:30 to 7:00 or 7:10 to
7:40. At this time we will review our classroom procedures, expectations, classwork, and
homework.
Thank you for the overwhelming amount of donations of extra supplies. We appreciate them all!
It is important that you review with your children their lunch codes. This is their student ID
number. This will help the lunch line and lunch go more smoothly. Also, this code will be used
for Raz Kids and math on-line access. If you do not know their code please let us know and we
will provide it for you.

Please return on Tuesday, thanks!
Wappingers Central School District
Gayhead Elementary School
15 Entry Road
Hopewell Junction, N.Y. 12533
At this time we are requesting your permission to institute a policy
beginning on September 22, 2014. We are requesting your support to take away
recess for incomplete homework or having his/her card flipped to yellow or red.
EXAMPLE: If on Tuesday your child has not completed any
assignments from Monday, they would remain in an indoor study hall
environment to fulfill academic requirements. As soon as the work is
completed at an acceptable level, your child may join fellow classmates for
recess. (If this becomes a consistent behavior I will be contacting you to
discuss other solutions and a possible conference.)
PLEASE be assured that if there is a reasonable cause for your
child’s lack of preparation (sickness, early dismissal, family circumstance)
the policy would not be put into effect.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Speidell & Mrs. Ruppert
Student’s Name __________________________________
I hereby give my child’s teacher(s) permission to take away (5-10 minutes) of
recess to complete work that is unfinished. Also, if the student’s card has been
flipped to yellow or red.

Dear Families,
This letter is to inform you that there is a new school-wide policy
being implemented this 2014-2015 school year by our principal Mr.
Olavarria. Mr. Olavarria is asking that you send in alternatives to
cupcakes if you would like to celebrate your child’s birthday in school.
For your convenience, we have provided a list below of things you
could bring in for the class to substitute cupcakes or any other food
items:
~stickers
~bookmarks
~mini erasers
~pencil cap erasers
~pencil grips
~glue sticks
Another great alternative is to donate a book to the classroom and
we can read it the day of your child’s birthday or if the child is able and
willing, he or she can read the book to the class on his or her birthday.
Please if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to
contact Mr. Olavarria. Thank you.
We would appreciate any parents that would love to help us
out. We will need parents to photo copy or do small tasks for
the classroom. If you would be interested in helping we would
love your support. Please see the sign up sheet and write a
down a day of the week, month, and time that would be
convenient for you.
We will also need parents to help organize holiday celebrations
and crafts. Sign up forms are on the desk outside the door.
Thank you for your support !
