I am dedicated to making this a productive and rewarding year for your child. He/She deserves the best possible educational atmosphere for learning. Your child and I have discussed the procedure for discipline. We agree that in order for me to teach, and your child to learn, certain procedures must be developed and followed at all times. Each child will be participating in the “Bub’s Bucks Plan”. . . Each child will choose 1-2 jobs that he or she would be interested in. The jobs range from “Banker”, (the person who collects and passes out the Bub’s Bucks), and “Sheriff”, (the child who helps collect fines), to the “Librarian”. Each student will apply for jobs and come up with a list of their qualifications. After the applications are written, I will choose the jobs for the first 9 weeks of school based on the applications and how your child is performing at school. Every Friday, students will be paid $150.00 by the Payroll Supervisors. From that, they must pay the following: A DESK MORTGAGE AND TAXES. (INSURANCE PREMIUMS ARE OPTIONAL) They may also be charged for late assignments, no name papers, messy desks, etc. Please refer to your child’s handout listing fines and payments. With the left over money, students will have the opportunity to buy privileges; such as staying in recess with a friend, eating lunch with Mr. Bub, free time, etc. They may also purchase basic classroom supplies as well as spend money at Mr. Bub’s Mini Mall. It is my job to make sure that each child understands that he or she is responsible for his/her own actions and choices. It is your child’s responsibility to cooperate with his/her school family to help make learning fun and exciting. If a child chooses not to follow the classroom procedures, I will give him or her a verbal reminder. If that does not solve the problem, I will then fine the child “Bub’s Bucks” for unacceptable behavior. Your child also has a list of fines that you should look at with them. Please review the list of jobs with your child and help him or her to decide which job they might be best suited to do. I am looking forward to this plan, and I hope your child is excited about it too! If you have any questions about the “Economy,” please feel free to contact me at the school. Sincerely, Mr. Bub 928-501-6035  adambub@wickenburg.k12.az.us
