Dear Families, Welcome to (____)I hope everyone had a great summer! My name is Danielle Garnand and I am very excited to be working with you and your child.

It is located just a little over an hour from here. I feel very fortunate to still be close to my family and friends because I really enjoy spending time with them. A few of the other things I enjoy doing are reading, cooking, and spending time outdoors. I will be working extremely hard to establish our classroom as a happy, challenging, comfortable, safe learning environment where we all do out personal best because I believe that is what all students need and deserve. In doing so, I will require your child to adhere to the following rules: 1. Follow directions 2. Be respectful 3.

I am fully aware that, in spite of the preemptive measures, there will still be discipline problems within my classroom. The following consequences may be given to students breaking the above rules. Any consequences outside of these will be discussed with you in further detail. 1. Name on board 2. Student writes down the rule that he/she broke. 3. Student practices behavior for X-minutes during recess. 4. A parent is called or a note is sent home for
