Fifth Grade Behavior
This year in fifth grade we will continue to use "Capturing Kids Heart"social contracts. Teachers and students will make a contract together in each of the classrooms. It includes things such as being respectful, being honest, being a good listener, etc. If students do not follow the contract set forth when in the classroom, they will receive a behavior sign on the nine weeks calendar. For those at home learners, citizenship will be based on missing/late assignments. Each week, for in person learners, there will be weekly consequences based on the amounts of signs.
Fridays, signs will be counted. Students that have multiple signs will be walking during recess. The amounts of walking times will go as follows....
3 academic/behavior signs=10 minutes of walking
5 academic/behavior signs= 15 minutes of walking
At the end of the nine weeks, infractions will determine their citizenship grade on the report cards. Fifth grade will be using the following scale when determining the citizenship grades.
E=0-4 infractions
S=5-10 infractions
N= 11-15 infractions
U= 16+ infractions
**If students are sent to the office, the citizenship grade will
automatically drop one letter grade that nine weeks.**
Homeroom teachers will attach a note to the planner when a student reaches a number of signs that would warrant a letter grade drop in citizenship grade. In fifth grade, we do not require planners to be signed daily or weekly. We only require planners to be signed when a behavior sign has been given. We do encourage; however, parents to look at the 9 weeks calendar at least weekly, to make sure that any infractions are know.
