Holiday Hearts

Dear Teasley Families,

It’s time again for the annual “Holiday Heart Program” at Teasley. Each year our students, staff and community members support families in need during the holiday season. This year we are trying something new! We are asking you to buy gifts cards from places such as Wal-mart, Target, Publix, Kroger or QT instead of gifts. Please assist us in helping these families in our school community by selecting a heart from the Holiday Hearts tree when you visit the school or attend the Thanksgiving Feast. You can purchase a gift card in any denomination (please write the amount on the card).

Please place your gift card in an envelope marked “Holiday Hearts” and return it to Teasley by Monday, December 12^th. All gift cards should be placed in one of the black payment boxes or the safe.

If you have any questions please contact Sherise Harris(Counselor for Kindergarten -2nd), or Corinna Oliver (Counselor for 3^rd – 5th) at 770-437-5945. Thank you for your support and generosity!

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
