Agenda & Absences

Use your agenda to log all homework assignments daily to help you remember what needs to be done.

Your agenda needs to be signed by a parent EVERY NIGHT!

Please call the office when you are going to be absent and send a note into school the next day.

Behavior & Bullying

Good behavior is expected at all times. Our school uses the A.I.M.S program. All students should always be responsible, safe, and respectful.

If you ever have any conflicts with another student, it must be taken care of immediately. Contact the nearest adult available.

Room 201 is a NO BULLY ZONE.

Cell Phones & Contact Information

Cell phones are not allowed in the classroom. All phones must be off and away unless you have special permission.

Contact Ms Masotti at 789-1400 x448. You may also write notes in the agenda or e-mail me at any time.

Deadlines, Desks, & Discipline

Meeting deadlines is an extremely important habit to get into.

Desks should be kept clean and organized at all times.

Maintaining proper discipline is required at all times and will be enforced.

Extra Money & Email

Have extra money in a safe place for a telephone call or lunch.

The instructions on how to email me are on the Staff Webpage. I will return the e-mail as soon as possible.

Food is not allowed to be sent to school any longer because of the many food allergies that students have.

There is to be no food in the classroom (this includes gum and candy).

Goals

Set high goals for yourself and you will achieve them.

Hall, Homeroom, & Homework

When walking in the hall we should remain in a single file line and remain quiet so we do not bother anyone.

Homeroom starts at 8:20 and students should go to their lockers before entering the classroom.

You will have morning work to do every morning while I collect your homework and check your agendas.

Homework should be done on time. Students will have homework every night except Friday.

Weekend homework will only be given if you are missing assignments.

Please use the internet for educational purposes only.

Jobs

Classroom jobs will be assigned by me each month. You are responsible for getting your job done without being reminded.

Hot lunch costs $1.75 and milk is $.50. Cold lunch can be brought in at any time and stored in your locker.

Lunch tickets will be handed out on Monday for free and reduced lunch students. You may purchase lunch tickets for the whole week on Monday mornings in the cafeteria during homeroom only. You may also pay for lunch daily at lunch time using cash or a check. No twenty dollar bills or larger is allowed.

Papers

Papers should be brought home as soon as they are handed back.

There shouldn't be any loose papers in desks. Papers will either be placed in your binder or will be sent home.

We usually have a review the day before a test or quiz so try not to be absent.

Make-ups and retakes of tests and quizzes are up to my discretion.

Reading

Reading is very important! You are required to read at least 20 minutes every night for homework. The Reading Corner is a privilege and there is to be absolutely no talking. I require at least 15 Accelerated Reader points each term.

Snibbler & Subjects

Snibbler is one of our monthly jobs. This person will be in charge of picking up any debris on the floor or desks. No one leaves at the end of the day until our room is neat and clean, so please pick up after yourself.

You will have five academic subjects: English, Reading, Science, Social Studies, and Math. You will have Art and Music twice a week and Library and Computer classes once a week. All students will have Extra Math (MCAS Math) class twice a week. You will also have D.A.R.E. once a week for 1/2 year. Once a week you will also have SLT (Structured Learning Time) to catch up on any work.
