BEHAVIOR
I would like to ask for your help to keep reminding our first graders of our TRIBES AGREEMENT. There’s a trend going on in our class especially with our first grade boys. Even with constant reminders, they’ve been playing rough with each other, not following our classroom rules or play rules, tattle telling and put downs. If this trend continues, it will result to a conduct slip. Please always refer to the handbook and our discipline policies. We will continue to review our Tribes Agreements as we work our way through our school year. Please continue to encourage your children to follow these agreements, even at home!
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. Thank you for your continued support and cooperation! Have a great evening! GOD BLESS!
Warmly,
Ms. Martinez
