Classroom Expectations
These general expectations will be discussed, modeled, and practiced through specific examples and routines during the first weeks of school.
Classroom Management Info:
Our classroom management plan includes both rewards and consequences for behavior in the school. The poster above about respect is our general guideline, and the 5th graders will participate in forming expectations and routines for specific situations. Routines will be established, practiced, and taught. If these expectations are broken, an appropriate consequence will be assigned. This could include:
Highlights from the Handbook:
Please make sure you have read and discussed the handbook with your 5th grader! There is a lot of information, but much of it will affect our day-to-day business at school. Here are just a few things that I wanted to point out or further explain that I know will affect our classroom.

Routines will be established, practiced, and taught. If these expectations are broken, an appropriate consequence will be assigned. This could include:
- Loss of a privilege appropriate to the action. (Example: Using water bottle to distract classmate, water bottle will be taken away for that day.)

- Check out the Homework Policy on p. 14-15 and p.25-26. Absences due to illness are given one day to complete work for every day absent. Homework requested on the day of an absence (whether sick or leaving early) will be available to be sent home with a sibling or to be picked up. If an illness is called in by 9:00, work may be picked up by 3:15. If a student leaves during the day, work may be picked up in aftercare at 4:00. Students gone on a planned absence will receive their homework when they return and will have one day to complete it for every day they are gone. Late work will be dropped 10% each day it is late and will be a zero after the 5th day.
- Student who are caught copying, cheating, or plagiarizing automatically earn a zero on the assignment and a detention according to p. 36.
- Electronic devices of any kind must be turned off (not silent) in the school building. Any devices will be turned into Miss Bogner to a designated place first thing in the morning and will be picked up at the very end of the day. Intentionally keeping a device will result in the device being turned into the office and disciplinary action. See p. 69 for more details. Smart Watches of any kind are considered an electronic.
- Celebrating a birthday is always a special event, but it is important that the celebration not detract from the class's academic experiences. Please make sure that birthday treats are individually packaged, easy to pass out, and appropriate for the school environment. See p. 66 in the handbook. In Miss Bogner's room, birthdays will be acknowledged first thing in the morning with a certificate and treats will be shared during normal snack time in the afternoon. In certain circumstances, Miss Bogner may send all or part of the birthday treats home to be enjoyed later.
- P. 75 in the handbook mentions water bottles. Water bottles are always welcome in our classroom, but they should have a secure cap to prevent spills and if not easily recognizable, should be labeled with the student's name. Water bottles should be filled up at the beginning of the day and can be refilled at break times later.
- Lockers for 5th Grade: Lockers are meant to store school items, such as coat, gym shoes, back pack, art box, and books. We will organize your belongings together during the first days of school so that everything has a home. 5th grade lockers may not have any extra items such as: mirrors, shelves, decorations, stickers, posters, pictures, hair stuff, toys, etc. 5th grade lockers may NOT have locks. 5th grade lockers are subject to inspection and clean outs by Mrs. Rogers and Miss Bogner.
