Classroom Expectations:
At Spaulding, we focus on teaching students to be respectful, responsible, productive, and safe. In my classroom, I teach 6 classroom rules that are based on Whole Brain Teaching to align with these expectations. We will be practicing and rehearsing these rules daily. I will be using a credit & debit system to guide students in meeting classroom expectations and creating a safe and productive learning environment. These consequences and rewards align with the PBIS program that is implemented throughout the school and district.

- Students will earn points for following classroom expectations & debits when they are not following classroom expectations.
- At the end of the week, students will total up their points. They will earn rewards for points earned each week.
- If a student loses 3 points in a day, it is a minor. They will be expected to complete a written reflection think sheet. This must be signed by a parent or guardian and returned the next day.
- As a reminder, 3 minors is a major.
Lunch: Students should bring a lunch to school or families may order hot lunch for their student through Nutrition First. To order online, print and fill out the page and drop if off at your child's school or the district office. You will then receive a username from the company and will be ready to order your child's lunches online. The cost of the lunches are $3.50. As of right now, the foods are nut free. If you have any questions about the hot lunch program, please email d56pto.org.
