Hello!

Next week we will be rolling out a new system in our classroom that will help teach our students responsibility.  We’ve noticed the students have been “slacking” a little bit and numerous reminders don’t seem to be helping.   We will be going to a “token system” where students can gain or lose “Camp or Cote Cash” by showing they are responsible for things such as being prepared for class, coming to school prepared to work, having the correct supplies, etc.   The “Cash” can be exchanged for things like participating in the Friday movie, leisure activities, snacks (Friday only), etc.    Students will also be able to earn extra cash by completing various classroom jobs throughout the week.  We expect to begin this new system on Monday.   As a lead up, we have been doing a refresher on classroom procedures, personal hygiene, etc.  We have noticed that some of our students (the males especially) sometimes look like they rolled right out of bed and on to the bus!  We expect all students to come to school with  the correct supplies, clean clothes (free of stains, holes, pet hair, etc), combed hair, neat facial hair, and to follow basic classroom procedures. (For the most part they do!)  They will be better prepared for work if they practice these skills now!    Thank you!
