COURTESY AND RESPECT
Students are expected to show respect and courtesy to all adults and students.  The classroom has certain formalities that they will be expected to observe.  School personnel are addressed by Mr., Mrs., Ms. Courtesy and politeness characterize a student’s classroom discussions.  In the classroom the teacher determines the proper procedures and routines; students adhere to what is established.  Classroom behavior takes into consideration the many people working together to learn.  Loud, distracting talk and disruptive behavior are inappropriate.  Students in a classroom are attentive and focused on the tasks of the day.  A quiet and busy classroom requires everyone’s cooperation.

GUM CHEWING
Gum chewing is not allowed any where in the building or at recess during school hours.

BIRTHDAY PARTY ETIQUETTE
Birthday treats are acceptable before 10:00AM or after 1:00PM.  Please refrain from bringing lunch for the whole class as it disrupts our hot lunch program.  Birthday party invitations should be mailed and not handed out at school unless you invite the whole class.

SNACKS
Effective Sept. 1, the Department of Public Instruction has issued a list of appropriate snacks for the classroom.  We must adhere to this list or our hot lunch reimbursement could be in jeopardy. Classroom snacks are at the discretion of the teacher and must come from the Appropriate Snacks List that will be distributed by your child’s teacher.  Snacks not from this list will be sent home with your child.   Birthday treats will be served after lunch.
