Classroom Assertive Discipline Plan

2016-2017

Teacher: Mr. Juan J. García Room: 1247

Dear Parent(s) / Guardian(s),

In order to guarantee your child, and all the students in my classroom the excellent learning environment they deserve, Socorro High School is utilizing the following Classroom Assertive Discipline Plan starting today.

Our Philosophy

We believe that all students can behave appropriately in our classrooms. We will not tolerate any student(s) preventing us from teaching and/or preventing any student(s) from learning.

Classroom Rules:

  1. Be ON TIME with your required materials, listen, and follow ALL instructions.
  2. Stay on task, NO disruptive behavior and speak ONLY during designated times.
  3. Respect ALL individuals and their property.
  4. NO personal grooming while in class.
  5. NO electronic devices (cell phones) are allowed during class unless used for educational purpose.
  6. NO eating or drinking during class.

If a student chooses to break a rule…Consequences:

  1. First Offense: Warning - Teacher/Student conference after class.
  2. Second Offense: Documented - Teacher/Student conference and Parent Contact.
  3. Third Offense: Schedule Student/Parent/Teacher Conference.
  4. Fourth Offense: Schedule Student/Parent/Administrator/Teacher conference.
  5. Fifth Offense: Referral sent to administrator with parent contact and conference.

Severe disruptions are NOT TOLERATED! Offenses that require immediate disciplinary action will automatically receive a referral.

Reward Positive Behavior:

  1. Verbal or Written praise.
  2. Contact Parent / Guardian with student praise.
  3. Attendance to academy field trip, extracurricular activity, or school activity.

Nine Week Grading / Progress Reports Policy:

  • Daily Grades (15 Grades Minimum) will total 50% of the nine weeks grade.
  • Exam Grades 30% of the nine weeks grade.
  • Final Nine Weeks Exam 20% of the nine weeks grade.
  • Conduct Grade: S=Satisfactory, N=Needs Improvement, U=Unsatisfactory

“It shall be the student’s responsibility to seek the opportunity to redo an assignment or test for which he/she received a failing grade within five school days upon which he/she received notification of a failing grade.” – SISD 2016-2017 Student Handbook (Page # 13)

It is in your child’s best interest that parents and teachers work together in relation to his/her schooling. We will thus be in close contact with you regarding your child’s progress in our classrooms. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at 937-2125. You may also choose to contact the school at 937-2000 to leave a message with the school receptionist and I will contact you as soon as possible.

Respectfully,

Juan J. García, M.A.

PLAN DE DISCIPLINA Y TARDANZA

Estimado(s) Padre(s) de familia:

Para asegurar que su hijo/a y todos los alumnos de Socorro High School tengan el ambiente educativo que merecen, se utilizará el siguiente Plan de Diciplina.

Filosofía:

Creemos que todos los alumnos se pueden comportar bien en el salón de clase. No se permitirá que ningún alumno interrumpa a los maestros durante la clase, ni a los otros alumnos mientras trátan de aprender.

Reglas de Clase:

  1. Llegar a tiempo con sus materiales requeridos, escuchar, y seguir todas las instrucciones.
  2. Concentrar atención en tarea académica, ningún comportamiento perturbador, y hablar sólo durante las horas designadas.
  3. Respetar los derechos de toda persona y sus bienes.
  4. NO aseo personal, mientras que en clase.
  5. NO dispositivos electrónicos (teléfonos celulares) están permitidos durante la clase y solamente por temas educativos.
  6. NO se permite comer o beber durante la clase.

Si un estudiante decide no seguir una de las reglas, éstas serán las consecuéncias:

Primera consecuéncia: Advertencia - Conferencia de maestro/estudiante después de clase.

Segunda consecuéncia: Documentada - Conferencia de maestro/estudiante y contacto con los padres.

Tercera consecuéncia:Conferencia con el estudiante/padres/ maestro.

Cuarta consecuéncia:Conferencia con el estudiante/padres/director/maestro.

Quinta consecuéncia:El estudiante debe presentarse en la oficina del director, contacto con padres, y

conferencia.

No se tolera ningún descomportamiento serio. En este caso, el estudiante tendrá que presentarse en la oficina del director.

Llegar tarde a clase:

Al sonar la campana se cerrarán las puertas del salón y todo alumno que se encuentre fuera será castigado por la dirección. La segunda vez, aparte del castigo de la dirección, habrá comunicación con los padres / guardianes. A la tercera y subsiguientes veces, el alumno deberá presentarse en la oficina del director.

Teléfono celular:

Uso telefónico durante el tiempo de clase, incluyendo llamadas no autorizadas o texto, será castigado por comunicación con los padres / guardianes la segunda vez y a la tercera y subsiguientes veces, el alumno deberá presentarse en la oficina del director.

Es importante que trabajemos juntos por el bien de su hijo/a. Por lo tanto, los maestros se comunicarán con frecuencia con Usted. Si tiene alguna pregunta, puede comunicarse conmigo al 937-2125. También se puede comunicar a la oficina de la escuela al 937-2000 para dejarme un mensaje con la recepecionista y me comunicaré con usted lo más pronto posible.

Sinceramente,

Juan J. García, M.A.
