ACKNOWLEDEMENT OF GUIDELINES

Dear Parents:

Let me welcome you and your child to my class. As your child’s teacher, I look forward to working with you throughout this school year. Together, we can make this a successful year. In order to carry out the programs of the district and school, it is important that we have good classroom discipline. Both the parents and the office will be notified when I feel it is necessary to do so in order to maintain a positive classroom environment.

I hope that you will take a few minutes from your busy schedule to discuss the need for good discipline with your child. Learning can only be accomplished appropriately in a well-disciplined classroom. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Please review the attached guidelines which detail the classroom rules and consequences. Sign and return this sheet. If you have any questions about the guidelines or need to talk to me about anything during the year, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I look forward to seeing you at our Open House on Tuesday, September 13, 7:00pm

Let’s have a terrific year!!!

Mrs. Davis

I have reviewed the Accounting I classroom guidelines for Mrs. Davis with my student. I understand that failure to follow the plan may result in my student being disciplined accordingly.
