Lunchroom/playground monitors are in attendance for student supervision. Only one grade level is on the playground or in the lunchroom at a time. The children participate in an incentive program for good behavior on the playground and during lunch. Points are earned each day, which can be used to earn a special treat at the end of the grading period. Approximately twice a month our PTA provides, at a nominal cost, a pizza lunch. In addition to the pizza, the cost of the lunch includes a drink and dessert. Pizza lunches must be purchased in full at the beginning of each semester. MEDICATION No student is permitted to take any type of prescribed medication or over-the-counter medication at school unless there is a "Request to Administer Medication" form filed for that student in the school office. The forms are available at the office. PLACEMENT OF STUDENTS In the spring of each year, placement of students for the following year is accomplished. This procedure is extremely important, requiring considerable time and careful consideration. It is important because a student's placement into the appropriate classroom setting is a significant factor in his/her educational and social progress during the year. Each student is placed individually, considering such factors as teacher's personality and teaching style, student's personality and learning style, physical arrangement of the classroom, balance of girls and boys, and overall composition of the class. POSITIVE ACTION Positive Action is not a simplistic approach to self-concept education. It is a comprehensive, child-centered program, which enhances school climate. The primary goal of Positive Action is to enhance students' self-concepts. Throughout Positive Actions, self-concept is defined as the way we feel about ourselves. Positive Action is organized to develop the underlying theme that we feel good about ourselves when we act in positive ways. At the core of Positive Action is the recognition that self-esteem is cyclical. Positive thoughts lead to positive actions, which lead to positive feelings. Positive feelings lead right back to positive thoughts. Positive Action improves an individual's self-confidence, ability to resist negative peer pressure, ability to make positive choices, problem-solving skills, social skills, thinking skills, and independence. Academic achievement and school attendance improve. There are significant positive changes in the climate at school, at home, and in the community because students are learning and practicing such positive behaviors. PROMOTION Decisions concerning a student's promotion/retention will be made in the best interest of the student. REFLECTIONS OF TEACHING AND PARENTING The best thing a parent can do to help his/her child is to be actively interested. That means from the eager anticipation at the beginning of the school year to the end. Learning the procedures and following them. Encourage your child to feel school is a special place -- show your interest and enthusiasm by becoming involved in the Learning Center or Library. Find a way to help -- your special way! Each day -- talk about school and all that happened. Please take time to check all the papers in a caring manner -- it represents your child's hard work. If there is a problem, address it quickly and communicate with the teacher to show your interest. Follow through is the key. Be sure to positively reinforce good efforts of the child, and show appreciation to his/her teacher. REPORTING STUDENT PROGRESS Report Cards: Reporting student progress is a vital link in the communication involving the student, the home, and the school. Thoughtful and accurate reporting does much to strengthen this communication. Kindergarten children do not receive report cards for the third grading period. Interim Reports: Interim reports are mailed home at the mid-point of each grading period to parents of students: • Whose progress is unsatisfactory • Who are performing significantly below expectations • Who have shown significant improvement Goldwood Parent/Student Handbook Page 20
Progress Conferences: One conference is to be conducted with parents each school year. This usually occurs near the end of the first grading period. During this conference, the teachers will clarify the report card, share information about the student at school, and clarify class expectations. Markings: Are given for Social Growth and Work Habits, Reading, Math, Social Studies, Science, Health, Art, Music, and Fitness Education. P = Performance as expected E = Exceeds expectations N = Needs improvement M = More time to develop ·Student usually demonstrates this behavior/skill. ·Student consistently demonstrates this behavior/skill in a self-directed manner and accepts additional challenges. ·Student does not demonstrate acceptable behavior skill. The student will continue to receive assistance in the classroom. It is important that the student be encouraged and helped at home. ·Student needs additional time to grow and develop. The overall profile of the child is evaluated through daily work, participation, teacher observation, as well as a cumulative portfolio, skill cards, and authentic assessments, which are available for your review.
