This week we have been reading books about how to be nice and gentle to each other. Here at St. Jude's we strongly encourage students to use kind words and keep their hands to themselves.
In my class I always give students warnings before taking any further measures. Please be assured that your child will always have the chance to make a better choice. If your child does not cooperate and listen, he/she and I will have a discussion about his/her choices. The next step would be a timeout to think about his/her actions. If these steps are unsuccessful, your child will be referred to the principal. You will be kept informed at all times about your child's progress.
Please, don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Have a great evening everyone!
