East Ward Expectations
How do we walk in the hallways at East Ward Elementary School?
Quietly in two straight lines, one boys and one girls line.
Who is responsible for your behavior at lunch?
You are! You are responsible for yourself.
I need a pencil. What should I do?
Everyone will have the opportunity to get a pencil from our pencil parking that matches you number. If. you lose it, then you'll have to wait until the following week to get a new one.
I have 5 minutes on the timer, but I was too busy talking so now I'm not done.
This won't happen. Independent work time is not for talking it's for working. You'll always have enough time to do your work. If you don't finish in time your grades will reflect that.
Who should you ask when you don't understand something?
Depends.
Classtime/independent time: ask your teachers
Small group time: ask your classmates.
a hallpass
How should you stand in line?
Facing front, hands to side, no talking.
I have to go to the bathroom.
Raise your hand, ask the teacher, once the teacher says yes, you will sign out, then place the Duckie on your desk and take the hallpass and go.
Do I have to write my header every time?
YES... always YES. Name Date School Room number!
I have a cell phone.
I will be collecting cell phones everyday! No Exceptions.
There's a fire drill, what do we do?
Line up quietly, one line and listen to Mrs. Gafanhao for directions on what to do next.
Describe the correct way to walk back to class.
Students should walk quickly and quietly, in two STRAIGHT lines.
My teacher is talking / teaching and I was busy having a conversation, what should I do.
stop your conversation, save it for later. Listen to the adult so you can do your best learning.
I forgot to put my name, now what?
Hope that Mrs. Gafanhao is feeling generous. -5 points for no name!
Mrs. Gafanhao is absent!
You continue to follow our classroom expectations no matter what. You get your work done and you show the adult in the room how great you are. Make me proud!
What time does school start?
8:15 am
We get to the cafeteria, now what?
I'm thirsty!
Do it neatly, Don't Just shove it into your desk. It is your work... be proud of it.
How do we leave the room at the end of the day?
Scan my area for garbage, desk, floor etc...and put any in the trash. Work put in folder and away, desks neat, chairs up and quietly standing behind my desk until we are called to line up.
What is the school motto?
respect, responsibility and perseverance
What should I do if another student is doing something I don't like or is annoying me during lunch?
Try to respectfully let the other student know and if it doesn't get better move away and let the teacher/ Mrs. Cantillo know.
It's too hard I don't want to do it anymore.
Nope, we don't give up in this class. Mrs. Gafanhao would rather see you try and get it wrong, rather than not try at all. Always do your best. We learn from the challenges.
Why do we have to work quietly.
To be able to focus and let other students focus. So the teacher can hear if students have questions and be able to help them.
My classmate hit me.
