Behavior
At Irving we have a school-wide positive behavior program called MTSS (multi-tiered support system). Each day students can earn marks for any inappropriate behavior that breaks our three school-wide rules. The rules are as follows:
Be Respectful (Rt)
Be Responsible (Rb)
Be Safe (S)
If a student breaks one of these rules, they will get a mark on our class checklist. The marks start over each day. The following is a list of consequences for marks:
1-2 marks: Warning
3-4 marks: One-on-one conversation with teacher or a timeout
5 marks: Parent contacted by teacher (note home or phone call)
6 marks: Detention
Beyond 6: Meeting with principal
Students are working to get free time, monthly prizes, or time for Friday Free Choice.
Throughout the school, if students are "caught" being respectful, responsible, or safe, they can receive a mustang dollar. Students are responsible for keeping their mustang dollars in their desks. Every Friday, students will have the opportunity to "buy" something from the Mustang Mall. They may buy things ranging from $1 to $20; they may choose to spend their money each week or save to buy a bigger item.

homework
Homework is assigned every Friday. Students will be given a packet of work that consists of a reading passage with questions, spelling activities, cursive practice, and a math worksheet as review. The packet is due by the following Friday, but they can turn it in early if they finish. Students should typically be spending 15-20 minutes on their homework each night. Homework will be a review of what we have been doing in class. Students are expected to complete and turn in their homework when it is due. Failure to do so will result in the student missing out on Friday Free Choice.
Friday Note/Friday Folders
Friday folders will be sent home every Friday. Throughout the week, I will be putting graded papers, book orders, announcements, etc. in Friday folders. Please review these papers and keep them at home. Also included will be our Friday note; this will cover academic and behavioral comments and any marks that your student has had for the week. Please sign, date, and return Friday note in the empty Friday folder with your child on the next school day. Please feel free to comment on these notes with any questions and/or concerns.
