Classroom Management Plan

6th-8th Grade
2013-2014

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Children are a blessing from the Lord and as parents you have been
given the amazing gift of bring up your child. In Proverbs 22:6 the Bible
says Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not
depart from it. We want to partner with you to help bring up your children
in the one true faith. In order to do this we have rules to help keep order
and provide a safe place where children can grow in the strength and
knowledge of God in a loving Christ filled environment.
I am only with the children so much and have a small influence compared to
parents and guardians. In a partnership with parents/guardians I am looking
forward to build up, and guide your children in the faith. Please go through
the rules with your child, and talk to them about the guidelines. Afterwards
please sign the sheet and bring it back at registration.
Classroom Rules:
In all things God comes first:
In all actions
In all thoughts
In all speech
In order to be good stewards of the gifts we are given we will show Respect
in all we do:
To God
To all people
To all creation
To all property
Please understand that every action you take can cause a different reaction
in others. We want to represent Christ and act out of love and not hate.
Listen at all times when the teacher is talking
Work on the assignments given
Study when given tasks to study

Classroom Consequences:

The classroom policies are a chance for students to

understand that their choices have consequences (some may be good

consequences and some may be bad.) It is important for students to

understand the importance of their actions and for a chance to learn
about grace, receive it, and grant grace to others.
Positive Incentives will happen at the teachers discretion and they will
be awarded as such. The student will be given a clean slate for the
day and when student is caught doing something good that student
will get a green bead put into their jar.
Positive IncentivesVerbal Praise-(At teachers discretion and when 5 beads are in
the jar)
Encouraging note- 10 green beads
10 minute late slip forgiveness- 15
Choice of popcorn or candy in class- 20 beads
Consequences will happen at the teachers discretion and will be given
out to help the student learn from their mistake (Law) and to be
guided toward their savior (Gospel.) When the student comes in they
will have a clean slate for the day and when something happens that
causes disciplinary actions these actions will come as follows.
Verbal warning-one offense
Students choice of consequences-second offense
Teachers choice-third offense
Parent communication (teachers choice) fourth offense
Trip to the principles-fifth offense

School Rules:

Rules are made to keep order and to create a harmonious

environment where students can learn. Our school partners with
parents in order to help your child grow and learn from any discipline
actions that will be taken.
1) Respect the environment around you
We have the privilege and honor to have the resources we
have to create a healthy learning environment that will
encourage you child to do the best they can. We want to
be able to keep these resources for many years so that
others can learn in the future. Students are not permitted
to deface or damage school and church property, the
playgroundect.
2) Respect the people around you

It is important that we respect other people around us and

love others as we love ourselves. Students are expected
to keep hands and feet away from others, play safely with
objects in and out of the school and church grounds, and
to respect all authority.
3) Show Christ first in everything
We are called to build up each of our brothers and sisters
in Christ. In order to do this bullying of any kind will not
be tolerated and appropriate disciplinary action will be
taken.

Schoolwork Policy:

Homework is a chance for students to learn many skills

necessary for the workforce. Completing homework on time teaches
time management, accountability, responsibility and many other life
skills. Students should have enough time to get most of their
homework done during the school day however there will be times in
which they will have to work at home. Students are expected to
complete the work putting their name, date, and the name of the
assignment on the page. When the assignment is due they are
expected to turn it in at the beginning of class.

Late Work Policy:

Work is due and needs to be turned in at the beginning of class if

a student is seen working on homework that is due on that day during
class it will be considered late. If a student does not have their
homework done they can choose to turn it in then or accept a 10%
grade drop. If more than 5 assignments are late in the semester
parents will be contacted.
