Education is extremely important. It prepares you for the future and helps you better understand your world today. Each one of us has talents that we can share with others. We also all have weaknesses -- areas where we need the help of others.
In order to make our classroom a positive learning environment, we all need to work together to create a community where we learn from each other and feel safe to take educational risks. This means making mistakes is a good thing, as long as we learn from them. It means asking questions is essential to learning. It means recognizing that you have knowledge to share and that there is tons of knowledge you can gain from others. We must all celebrate our differences, unique talents, and various areas of expertise if we truly want to grow and learn.
It takes everybody working together to make Jr. High a success. Let's all determine to make this a great year!

Behavior
In order to make the most of our time in the classroom, each students needs to practice behavior that encourages learning, participation, cooperation, and team work. Students will have various opportunities to earn rewards and recognition for outstanding classroom behavior and citizenship. These include, but not limited
to, earning items from the class store (such as pencils, homework pass, etc.), Tiger Pride cards, lunch with Mrs. Birck, a positive note/call home, and much more. On the other hand, behaviors that impede the learning of other students will not be accepted. The first day of school, as a class, we came up with the following policy for behavior:
Consequences:
1. Verbal Warning
2. Detention
3. Office referral
Attendance
Students should arrive well-rested by 8:30 each morning. If a student is sick or absent from school, all make-up work must be completed within the number of school days the student was absent. A zero will be entered in the grade book until the assignment has been completed.within 3 days of returning to school.
Homework Policy
At Canton R-V, homework is given to students in order to reinforce the learning that takes place during school hours. Jr. High students should expect about 45 minutes of homework each night. They should also read for 20 minutes each night, since students who develop a daily routine of independent reading do better in school.
This may include reading with parents, writing conferences, and studying for test. Parents who provide support and positive reinforcement, but do not take over the assignment, are best helping their children grow and learn. Although parental involvement is highly encouraged, please remember that it is the child's
assignment.
Student Responsibility Homework completion allows students to independently practice skills as well as prepare for in-class learning. There are times when an incomplete homework assignment will limit the student's ability to participate in a lesson. Therefore, all students are expected to daily complete assigned
homework.
