Fire Safety Village

Good Afternoon!

On Thursday, March 3rd, we will be attending a free field trip to the fire safety village. What an amazing opportunity! In order to attend all students must bring back a signed copy of the blue waiver from the fire safety village, as well as the purple permission slip from Cobb County. Please have these to me by tomorrow, March 2nd.

There are a few different things that we must remember for the field trip:

All lunches must be in sacks, NOT lunch boxes. Please send your child's lunch in a brown paper bag (Students may still buy lunch from Teasley, if needed).
All students need to wear pants since they will be very active on the field trip.

We are so excited for the Fire Safety Village!

Grading Scale

The grading scale for 4th grade and beyond is as follows:

(A) 90-100

(B) 80-89

(D) 70-73

(F) 69 and below

Please remember to check ParentVUE throughout the week, for updated grades, comments, missing assignments, etc. In the past, your child has been assessed on a standards based report card. In fourth grade, students receive percentages on assignments. These scores are averaged to determine your child's grades. Please be aware there there is no correlation between the standards based report card and the traditional scale. Non-academic factors affect grades, such as participation, attendance, late work, ability to follow and decipher directions, precision to detail, etc. The grades that students receive, starting in 4th grade, will depend upon the degree to which they meet the communicated expectations.

Behavior Colors

In my class, students have the opportunity to move their clips up and down through out the day. All students start on Green, and I consider this positive behavior. Anything green and above, is great behavior and students are rewarded with megabucks which they can use to purchase certain cards. These cards include fun extra activities like being able to take your shoes off in class. Anything below a green is not encouraged, as it means students are needing to be redirected more then once throughout the day. The colors are in the following order.

Pink - Super Student

Purple - Great Job

Blue - Good Choices

Green - Ready to Learn (Students start here)

Yellow - Think About It

Orange - Teacher's Choice

Red - Parent Contact
