WHAT TO EXPECT…

There are a great deal of things that will help make 6th grade run smoooooothly!!!

AT TENDANCE! ! ! BE THER E OR BE SQ UARE!

If you Are ABSENT: Send in note or email explaining your student's absence to his or her 2nd period teacher!

After 3 UNEXCUSED ABSENCES you will receive a letter from the school! This will lead to Truancy Court!

BUT, MY BELOVED CHILD IS SICK!

There is not a full time nurse at school; therefore, when your child is sick, our only course of action is to have him/her call home.

If your child is absent for more than two days or you anticipate that your child will be absent for an extended period, please contact the guidance office (560-3859) to request his/her work.

REQUESTING WORKTeachers require a 24 hour time period to gather work and

turn it in to the guidance office. If work is requested, it should be picked up, completed, and turned in within five days of the student's return to school.

If you request work, the work is expected to be picked up and completed!

TARDINESS TO THE PARTY

Continuous tardiness on team will result in:

Silent Lunch and team discipline

Three (3) tardies in the same class will

result in After School Detention (ASD)

READ ALL ABOUT IT!It is the RESPONSIBILITY OF BOTH PARENT AND STUDENT to READ all POLICIES AND PROCEDURES IN THE CMS STUDENT HANDBOOK. WE WILL HOLD ALL PARTIES ACCOUNTABLE FOR SCHOOL-WIDE POLICIES. PLEASE, PLEASE FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH POLICIES AND PROCEDURES AT CMS!

PLANNERS FOR 6 T H GRADE LIFEStudents should write down the complete assignment for each class in their PLANNERS.Parents should check the PLANNER nightly (or other Homework Resources) and look for the following: *notes from the teacher, *reminders about tests, quizzes, money due, updates about grades, and dates when progress reports will be sent out! If you write a note to a teacher, it is the student's responsibility to show the teacher the note!

Students can go to their lockers during the set team locker times: before 1st Period and after 4th period.

Lockers are a privilege; not a right.

GLADIATORS WITH MANNERS

It is expected that each student: BE RESPECTFUL, BE COURTEOUS, KEEP HIS OR HER HANDS TO THEMSELVES!

AS A MANNER OF FACT..

No horse playing is tolerated; administrators are treating offenses as fights!Students could receive In-School Suspension (ISS) or Out-of-School Suspension (OSS)The excuse of “We were just playing is not acceptable!”

AS A MANNER OF FACT 2

Any disciplinary action could result in loss of privileges: lockers, Team Days, Field Trips, Dances, School-Wide Events etc….
