In Spanish I will follow the same homeroom teacher discipline policy from each level. If the student chooses to break the rules will receive two warnings before is given a think sheet in which parents can find out what happened, and what the student will choose to do next time. If the student insists in continuing breaking the rules there will be either a home communication or an office referral.

Cordially,

Mrs. Joyner

Dear parents: This is the Spanish Elementary supply list for each Grade and child. Look for your child’s grade, and find out which items is a boy or a girl bringing to school. Mostly all the materials will be shared in class, except for folders or notebooks. Thank you for all your support.

Mrs. Joyner

1. Please label all the supplies with the word Spanish, this will help the homeroom teacher identify the material that belongs to the Spanish class.

2. Folders or notebooks must be labelled with the name of the student, Spanish Class, grade and the name of the classroom teacher.
