These rules are school-wide with classroom procedures specified. If a rule is broken, it will be noted in their Behavior Folder. Students with good behavior will be able to earn: stickers, praise, privileges, tickets, class recognition, school and principal recognition, treats, “Oops” passes, and participation in “Fun Friday”. Misbehavior earns: verbal warning, time out, loss of privileges, no participation in “Fun Friday” (folder signed 3 or more times), a telephone call home, after school detention, or a visit to the office. Please understand that we know that no child is perfect, nor do we expect them to be, but good classroom behavior is essential to learning. Consequences occur only when a child blatantly disregards rules.
