Transcript Welcome to Mrs. Payne`s

Welcome to
Mrs. Payne’s
Math and Science
and
Mrs. Skidmore’s
Language Arts, Reading, and Social Studies
class!
In 5th grade…
• We are preparing your child
for Intermediate school.
• We feel it is very important
to have….
– High expectations
– Low tolerance for discipline issues
• This includes:
• Not following directions
• Not having materials and assignments
• Zero Tolerance
• Bullying will not be tolerated. This
includes hitting, kicking, teasing,
threatening, taunting, assaulting, or any
other form of written, verbal, physical, or
electronic harassment toward another
student.
– For unexcused absences, a student commits
a criminal offense if the student is absent for
10 or more days or parts of days in a six
month period or three or more days or parts of
days in a four week period.
– If a student misses more than 18 days during
the school year, he or she may not receive
credit for the class except for an illness that is
verified by a written doctor’s note.
