class, and have them organized and ready for use. - In the administration of these rules, our children will be treated with respect and patience. If a student fails to
follow any of rules and policies identified in this booklet, teachers will attempt to work with the student to
rededicate such actions. If the actions continue, teachers will notify the student’s parents so that efforts can
be made at both home and at school to modify this behavior. We may also request parents to sit with their
children in the classroom until the appropriate behavior is demonstrated.
