Classroom+culture+and+discipline

The atmosphere of the classroom is an essential piece to every student's success. Our classroom will be safe, positive, and productive. Our classroom will also be fun, curious and interesting! The rules and guidelines we follow are all centered around the idea that we all play an important roll in how-where-when we learn together.


 * Student Rules and Guidelines**
 * 1) 1 Be safe
 * 2) 2 Think for yourself and ask lots of questions
 * 3) 3 Be nice to others, recognize and celebrate differences
 * 4) 4 Take your job seriously and work hard to learn


 * Family/Parent Rules and Guidelines**
 * 1) 1 Every student has a "Goal Notebook" that you should check on each day, it will have messages, updates, homework, etc.
 * 2) 2 Please communicate with Mr. Paulsen anything you feel is important for him to know about your student.
 * 3) 3 Please dress your student in clothing that does not offend or disrespect school, homework, parents, teachers, or celebrate laziness, intolerance, procrastination and other negative things like that. It is our classroom culture that we are excited to learn and ready to take on new challenges! Smart-alec shirts disrupt this.
 * 4) 4 Please volunteer for any idea that you think will enhance our experience in the classroom. Keep in mind this is a new adventure for everyone and so you are all invited to participate! Contact Mr. Paulsen.
