  3. PBIS Program Positive Behavior Interventions in Schools • School Motto Manners Attitude Respect Enthusiasm Kindness • Students are expected to maintain these Marek values each day. • Marlin tickets are given to students who are staying focused by showing Marek’s values throughout the day. • Students can use their Marlin Tickets to purchase items at our Marlin School Store each Friday.

  4. Communication • Teacher Website * Classroom Information, Schedule, Books read in class and Photos • Email * Best form of communication for minor questions/concerns • Mary Marek Phone: 281-245-3232 • Daily folders * Used to send and receive classroom and school information and homework * Used to communicate daily behavior of student

  5. Transportation and Absences • Transportation changes should be made through Marek’s front office as well as your child’s homeroom teacher. • Please don’t make changes past 2:30 p.m. • We LOVE notes! Please send a note regarding your child’s absence, tardy or dismissal from school before 3:10 – a doctor’s note is required if your child was out sick.

  6. Homework • Homework is reinforcement of skills learned in class. To help your child do his/her best with homework: • Choose a good time and place to do homework that suits your family’s schedule • Allow your child to come up with his/her own responses • Make sure your child is doing his/her homework with support (not given the answers) • Homework is notoptional. Every student is expected to turn in completed homework each Friday morning. • Homework is used to ensure that students are retaining the information they learn during the school day. • Please let your child do the assigned work for each night. Don’t allow your child to do his/her homework all in one night, even if he/she is able to do so. • By signing the homework, you are confirming that all homework is complete and correct. • Email your child’s teacher if you have any questions about the assigned homework. .

  7. Things To Do To Help At Home • Please work on Fine Motor Skills: • Fine Motor Skills help in holding and using writing tools like pencils and crayons.  Holding and cutting with scissors.  Tying shoes, fastening buttons and zipping zippers. Daily practice is best to ensure children will have adequate motor control when they are writing.   • Many times when a child starts kindergarten, this skill is overlooked.  Kindergarten is so fast paced now a days that students are required to have these skills mastered. • At home, there are many things that you can do to help.

  9. EXTRAs • Your child MUST memorize his/her lunch number. Please help them PRACTICE! (if you need another practice pad, please let your child’s teacher know) • Please make sure your child knows if he/she is to purchase extra snack items in the lunch line (ice cream, popsicles, chips, cookies). • Please provide oneHEALTHY and quick snack each day. We only have 10 minutes for snack time. Some ideas of healthy and quick snacks are: • Granola Bar • Grapes, Berries • Squeezable yogurt or applesauce (no spoon needed) • Chex Mix • Cheese stick • Please make sure your child has at least one book in his/her backpack each morning. The school will soon, no longer be providing your child with a book to read in the mornings.
