Sixth Grade Team Plan 2010-2011

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome to the Julia Landon 6th Grade Team! It is a privilege to have your child
as a member of our sixth grade team for the 2010-2011 school year.

Your Sixth Grade Team consists of the following academic teachers:

Mrs. Kathleen Flynn- Advanced ELA


Mrs. Eleanor Hayden- Advanced Science
Mrs. Linda Hubbard- Advanced World History and Advanced ELA
Mr. George Lee- Advanced Math/Pre-Algebra/Intensive Math
Mrs. Julie Miller- Advanced ELA (Language Arts)
*Mrs. Kathleen Singleton - Advanced Math and Pre-Algebra
Mrs. Pam Smith- Advanced Science
Mrs. Sharon Thomas- Advanced World History
* Denotes Team Leader

Academic Program and Policies

JLCP is a gifted and academically talented program, and only advanced courses
are offered. It will be extremely important for your child to be strong in the areas
of reading comprehension and mathematics. Your child will also have to be
prepared for class every day. Students will need to keep their planners,
notebooks and an independent reading book with them at all times. Here are
some of the activities your child can expect to participate in this year:

Daily Homework Hands-on Activities


Research Papers Essay Writing
Reading Logs Library Research
History Project Science Project
Cooperative Learning Activities Group and Individual Projects
Internet assignments Field trips (according to policy)

*Some assignments/projects may require use of the public library and/or the
Internet.
Good attendance is extremely important. It will be necessary for your child to
be here so that he/she will not get behind in the required work. If a student is
absent, the following guidelines will be used for turning in make-up work:
It is your child’s responsibility to get his/her make-up work from each teacher
when they return to class. They may ask the teacher, check the teacher’s blog on
the school’s website (www.duvalschools.org/landon), or ask another student.

Assignments should be completed and submitted in a timely manner according


to the school board policy. Note all missing assignments will impact a student’s
current average until assignments are turned in, graded, and posted. In case of
an extended absence, you may contact the Guidance Office.

Late work, different than make-up work, is accepted, however with penalty. It is
strongly encouraged for students to turn in assignments on time.

Remember we value your child’s work. We will treat it respectfully. We will


return work as soon as it is graded and recorded. Your child needs to keep all of
his/her papers in the correct folder for each class. This will make it easier for
them to turn in work and have accurate notes and resources to review for tests.

Team Discipline Plan

In order to guarantee an excellent academic environment, we have developed a


Team Discipline Plan based on the Student Code of Conduct. This plan applies
to all students on our team. Specific policies and procedures that complement or
explain each rule will be established by the individual teachers.

Team Discipline Expectations

1. Follow directions the first time they are given.


2. Show respect for others.
3. Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself.
4. Stay on task during all work times.
5. Follow all school rules and procedures.

Consequences:

Teachers will give verbal warnings for minor class disturbances and minor
behaviors problems. However, if the student does not correct his or her
behavior, the following plan will be followed:

1. Parent Contact
2. Team Timeout (in another teacher’s room or administrator’s office)
3. Parent Conference
4. Referral

(Multiple offenses or a serious violation of the Student Code of Conduct will result in a Referral.)
Documentation

Remember to write students a note if they are absent. This note needs to
explain why the student was out and must have a parent signature. This is to
be turned in to the Main Office, and the child will be given a readmit slip to
class. The absences will be considered unexcused until the school receives your
note. Also, please send a signed note to inform us if your child needs to leave
early for any reason.

The teachers will keep a Team file with all of your child’s documents: readmit
slips, tardy slips, progress reports, returned report cards, scholarship
warnings, and other papers for use in parent conferences. This is to ensure
that both the parents and the teachers are aware of good behavior and/or
problems that each student might be having at school.

In order for this plan to work, we need your support. Discuss these
expectations with your child. Return the attached form with both your
signature and your child’s signature to your child’s homeroom teacher in the
next three days. We are looking forward to a successful school year.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Team Discipline Plan
