5th Grade Camp Behavior Policy
Dear Parents,
As you already know students will earn the opportunity to participate in an outdoor camping experience this school year on May 7-8 at Camp Copneconic. It is a wonderful opportunity to spend time with their fellow classmates and teachers while breathing in the fresh air and participating in outdoor learning activities. We look forward to camp each and every year!
Students earn the privilege to attend camp by following the high fives, and working hard during the school year. Unfortunately, students who choose to continually not follow the high fives and receive three major office referrals, beginning Friday, January 16, will lose their privilege to stay over night, and will need to be picked up after dinner and may come back the next morning.
Any student receiving four office referrals will have a 2 day out of school suspension to be served on the days of camp, Thursday and Friday. Teachers reserve the right to not take a student if there is valid concern with behavior in an outdoor setting.
Our hope is that every student will earn the right to go and not miss out on this wonderful experience. We ask for support in talking to your child about the importance of following the high fives.
Thank you for your support,
Rebecca Drake
