Homework The rumors are true. . Homework has been taken away from all grade levels. I will be checking reading logs and dreambox weekly and rewarding students who choose to do extra work at home. Dreambox is an adaptive program please do not help.
How will I know how my child is doing? • Daily behavior chart & “Goal Sheets”- please check and empty out folder daily and sign at least once a week!!! Please return “goal sheets” and other important forms. Any parent communication or money should be put in a labeled envelope in their folders, not in the backpack or their pockets!!! • Folder should come to school and go home every day. • Progress reports every 4 weeks. • Report cards every 9 weeks. Free powerpoint template: www. brainybetty. com 11
Learning Progressions • • • CCISD started implementing a new way of assessing and grading last year. Teachers assess and give grades based on a child’s progress. It shows parents exactly where their child is and where they need to be, based on the 9 weeks that we are in. Teachers use these clear cut learning progressions to better meet the individual needs of students. Students are able to identify their own strengths and weaknesses and set goals for themselves. Parents are able to understand what’s expected of their child at each level in every subject and will be in a better position to support their child in achieving these expectations. The report cards will provide parents with more specific information about their child’s growth and achievement. Free powerpoint template: www. brainybetty. com 12
What if my child is struggling ? • As concerns arise, you will be informed by email, phone, or parent conference. • A student success team will be formed if necessary, to create a plan to address individual needs. Free powerpoint template: www. brainybetty. com 13
Supporting students through Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) • At Ralph Parr Elementary we believe that students should be Prepared, Aware, Respectful and Responsible at school, at home, and in their communities. P- Prepared A- Aware R- Respectful R- Responsible Our school implements the PBIS framework for behavior. PBIS is not a program or a curriculum. It is an approach to creating a safe and productive learning environment where teachers can teach and all students can learn. The process focuses on improving a school’s ability to teach and support positive behavior for all students. We have a unified set of school expectations. You will see these expectations posted throughout the school and your child will be learning them throughout the year. The next slide is our Parr Matrix with expectations for students. Expectations are reinforced with students daily throughout our building. Each day, students participate in Class Meetings that building community in classrooms. Our CCISD Core Values and Parr Expectations are reinforced throughout each day. Our Patriot Pledge reinforces these expectations as well. In addition, students earn Parr Bucks throughout their day for showing outstanding Parr behavior. These Parr bucks can be cashed in for classroom and schoolwide incentives and are never taken away from students punitively. Free powerpoint template: www. brainybetty. com 14

Behavior Expectations Core Values *Trustworthiness *Responsibility *Respect *Fairness *Caring *Citizenship First Grade is on a “E, S, N, U system” You will see this daily in your child’s folder. Free powerpoint template: www. brainybetty. com 16
E, S, N, U Breakdown • 0 -3 reminders =E for day • 3+ reminders =S for day, core value will be noted in folder and further explanation may be on notes sheet behind calendar. • 6+=N email or phone call from teacher about day. • 9+ or office referral=U, phone call from teacher or office about day. • A goal sheet may be established with a child after several days of the same choices. This is a tool created to help a child and teacher set a goal to work on a specific behavior or choice they may be struggling with. If you see one come home, please discuss, sign, and return. Teacher checks back on goal after a few more days. Free powerpoint template: www. brainybetty. com 17
Patriot Assemblies • Held at the end of each 9 week period on the day after report cards are sent home at 8: 20 AM in the gym. • Awards given for patriot behavior and perfect attendance.
How to earn the Patriot Award • The patriot award is for students who are working at modeling core values. We feel that it is important that just like academics, this should be looked at as a progression as well. • 1 st 9 weeks- 4 or less S’s (at least 3 E’s in their core values) • 2 nd 9 weeks-3 or less S’s (at least 4 E’s on core values) • 3 rd 9 weeks-2 or less S’s (at least 5 E’s on core values) • 4 th 9 weeks-1 -0 S’s (All 6 E’s on core values).
