Classroom+Policies

PARENT VOLUNTEERS/VISITORS Parents are welcome to observe in the classroom anytime. All visitors must get a pass from the office first. Please keep in mind that I am not able to visit or hold conferences during the school day. If you want to volunteer in the classroom, 1.) THANK YOU! and 2.) Please schedule with me in advance so that I can best plan for how you can be of assistance. Feel free to contact me anytime: nicole.evans207@gmail.com Volunteers must complete a background check and online application: APS volunteer information

FIELD TRIPS Adult family members are welcome. Please notify me in advance if you would like to join us, as the number of adult chaperons is sometimes limited.

PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES There will be two formal conferences scheduled during the school year. If needed, we can schedule more. Emails or notes are the best ways to communicate with me throughout the school year.

CELL PHONES/ELECTRONICS Cell phones are not allowed. If a student must carry one for safety reasons, it must be turned off at the beginning of the day and kept in the student's backpack. Bring them at your own risk! Other electronics are simply NOT allowed. I can not monitor what is being heard on mp3 players, and other games do not enhance the discipline students need to develop within the school culture.

DRINKS IN THE CLASSROOM Students must have water bottles with lids. Water bottles must be filled before school or at recess. Water only: Anything sticky, colored, or containing caffeine or sugar is not allowed in the classroom with the exception of special events.

SNACKS IN THE CLASSROOM Donations of healthy snacks for everyone to share are appreciated any time. If students bring individual snacks, they may be eaten at recess or at lunch, but not in the classroom.

GUM IN THE CLASSROOM Gum must remain silent, in students' mouths, and must be disposed of properly. If problems arise, individual students will lose the privilege or the gum policy will be revised.

TOYS Bring toys at your own risk. They are to be used at recess or PAT only. Any items that interfere with learning or cause any problems at school will be taken from students and held until parent teacher conferences.
