I have discussed these Rules/Rewards/Consequences with my students. Please read and discuss this plan again with your child.   I appreciate all that you do to support our classroom policies.

Classroom Rules:

1.      Talk quietly.

2.      Listen and follow the directions

3.      Be kind in your words and actions.

4.      Be safe at work and play.

5.      Keep your hands, feet and other objects to yourself.

6.      Follow all school rules (see MES handbook in your agenda).

Rewards:

Students will be rewarded for good behavior by receiving special privileges---free choice time, stickers, treasure chest, canteen, etc. Students who pull no more than one ticket all week will be allowed to bring $1 and go to canteen on Friday.

Consequences:

I want you to be able to know immediately when you open your child’s agenda if we had any problems during the day. I will put a colored code in your child’s agenda if he/she pulls any tickets. The color of the code will let you know the offense. Your child will get a warning before any ticket is pulled. The color codes are:

      

          GREEN         Talking

            RED            Not listening: not following directions

        YELLOW       Unkind words or actions

            BLUE         Safety

         ORANGE     School rule

                      No Tickets Pulled!          

 

Please check your child’s agenda every day and sign under the color codes. 

If your child breaks a rule

Warning first

1^st ticket---conference with teacher, five minutes timeout

2^nd ticket--*yellow discipline card, conference with teacher, note home, 10 minutes timeout

3^rd ticket--*yellow discipline card, parents called

4^th ticket—student sent to Principal’s office, punishment will be determined by administration and teacher

Severe Behavior—student will be sent immediately to Principal’s office; punishment will be determined by administration

Please remember that this cycle begins new each day!!! Your child will begin each day with a clean slate through September, and then we go to a weekly cycle!!

*Consequences for Yellow Discipline Cards

Yellow discipline cards will be used as a means of recording inappropriate conduct. The accumulation of these cards will start over at the beginning of each nine week grading period.

Number of cards        Consequences

1                                 Warning

2                                 Warning

3                    Warning and Note Home

4                                 Detention

5                                 Detention

6                                 Detention

**This list of consequences will serve as a minimum.

I believe that good conduct is essential to having a proper atmosphere for learning to take place.

The following scale will be used to determine your child’s conduct grade:

No Yellow Discipline Cards                                                             S (Satisfactory)

*remember, your child will receive two warnings a day before getting a yellow card

1-3 Yellow Discipline Cards                                                            N (Needs Improvement)

4 or more Yellow Discipline Cards                                                U (Unsatisfactory)

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at school (731-686-0840). Thank you in advance for your support. I look forward to a wonderful year!
