  4. Behavior System Mr. Potato Our Hero Mr. Potato Head is our classroom's behavior reward system! Mr. Potato Head will gain parts daily when 1C has perfect behavior (everyone has a green card)! A reward is earned once he is completely built! How is your day? My goal is to create an environment which is stimulating and safe for your child. This includes assisting children in making appropriate behavioral choices. The desired classroom rules have been decided upon and discussed by the class and are posted for all to see. Each child will be able to keep track of his/her personal behavior by use of a behavioral chart.

  5. How Is Your Day? Each child will be able to keep track of his/her personal behavior by use of a behavioral chart. If a rule is not broken, no warning is given then your child receives a green card for the day. If two warnings are given throughout the day, your child receives a yellow card for the second warning. If a fourth warning is given throughout the day, a red card is received for the fourth warning. When a red card is in your child’s pocket, your child will “take 5” and sit on the wall during recess for 5 minutes. If a red card is received after recess has passed for that day, your child will “take 5” the following school day. You will be notified daily if your child receives a red card for inappropriate behavior(s) with a dated “take 5” note in the take home folder. Each student begins a new day with a green card

  6. The North Allegheny School District utilizes the electronic Thursday E-Blast (previously "Thursday Envelope") to provide parents with information relevant to elementary programs. Each week, parents of elementary school students will receive an email containing the listing of all fliers available on this webpage.  By selecting the appropriate date below, parents may view each flier electronically. Up to six weeks of information will remain on this page at a given time. 

  7. Lunch Money • You should have received a letter detailing the POS system used by our cafeteria. • Your child has a “pin” number to purchase a school lunch in the cafeteria. • Money may be applied to your child’s account on any day. • You may also utilize the PayForIt.net or go to the NA website and locate “PayForIt.” • Please make sure that your child’s name, our classroom section and room number (1C), pin number, and the amount are written on the outside of the envelope. • If your child has brought money for only that day’s lunch, he/she will take the money with them to lunch. • Please assure with your child knows what he/she will be choosing for lunch daily!

  8. Birthday Celebrations • We like our children to share birthday celebrations with their classmates! • Due to the “Wellness Policy” and to protect children with allergies, please consider a non-food item if you would like to provide a treat. • We will celebrate summer birthdays (July/August) in June 2014. • Please do not send birthday invitations to school unless there is one for every child in our class. We don’t want any hurt feelings! • Students also have the opportunity to have a guest reader read their favorite book to 1C! Please make arrangements with me at least one week PRIOR to your child’s birthday!

  11. Take Home Folder • Each student was provided with a take home folder. The students are expected to take home this folder each night. Please check this folder with your child nightly for any important notes/assignments from 1C. The folder is labeled Home and School. Papers on the Home side are to be kept at home. Papers located on the School side are to be completed/signed at home and returned to school the following day.

If your child does not have his or her homework, they will be required to stand on the wall at recess for 5 minutes. The homework will be sent home with a please sign and return stamp. Please have your child complete the homework and provide your signature on the worksheet. Spelling homework that is not turned in will result in the students writing spelling triangles over the weekend.

  13. Share Chair • 1C has wonderful ideas, opinions and stories! Students will have the opportunity to sit in our Share Chair to "share" their thoughts, ideas, and work with our classroom! • The June Box is used to house student distractions throughout the school year. When students become distracted with object(s) throughout the day, they will be asked to place item(s) in their desk once and not to play with it/them. Following one warning, students who choose to continue behaviors will have object placed in June Box. The June Box will hold items until June 2014 when items will be returned to students. Please keep all items at home that you would like to enjoy throughout the year! June Box
