Dear Parents\n& Guardians,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is\nonly one more week left before break. We would like to end this year on a good\nnote. We have had several visits from administration coming into the classroom\nto address the students on their disrespectful behavior in the building towards\nother students, teachers, and classmates. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We strive\nto support each student in their full potential on their academics. Therefore, it\nis imperative to have a good learning environment in the classroom. So far this\nhas been lacking in part due to their behavior. By talking too much during\ninstructional hours, talking while teachers are teaching, being disrespectful\ntowards other students and teachers. Presenting a less desirable leadership\nrole for other classes in the school. Starting arguments with others in the\nclassroom. Making better choices is challenging at this moment. Their behavior\nwill have to improve and mature in order to get ready for middle school next\nyear.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To\nprepare the students for the rest of their lives we need to be on a united\nfront. Therefore, parents we are asking for your support in this matter.  Please talk to you child and discuss this\nimportant matter.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order\nto help the students, they were assigned a writing assignment to self-reflect\non their own behavior. It is important for them to take a moment in time to put\nthe focus on themselves and process their thoughts. This will be a great\nopportunity to connect with your child to discuss what the expectations are in school.\nIn addition, what you as a parent expect from your child. Being held\naccountable for their actions is an important life lesson to learn. Therefore,\nwe would like to work together on this matter. It is important for our students\nto be aware of this in order to succeed in life. The students were asked to\nanswer the following questions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. How has my behavior been in school?<\/strong><\/li>
  2. How has my behavior affected others?<\/strong><\/li>
  3. This is how I will improve my\nbehavior?<\/strong><\/li>
  4. To be a good leader means\u2026.?<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The\nassignment will be a personal piece and it will not be shared with other\nstudents. We want to make sure your child feels comfortable with writing their\nassignment and turn it in on Monday. Thank you for all your help and support in\nadvance!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With\nwarmest regards,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
