Classroom Discipline Plan

Classroom Rules:

1. Respect people and property.
2. Raise your hand to speak.
3. Work and walk in line quietly.
4. Follow directions the first time they are given.

If a student chooses to break a rule:

1st Time: Verbal Warning/reminder and name on board

2nd Time: Teacher puts check by student's name on board, student signs name and records rule(s) broken in Behavior Log*, note sent home by teacher to parent that must be signed and returned the following school day, student loses sticker on calendar for that day.

3rd Time: Student indicates in Behavior Log that s/he has broken the rule a third time, student serves lunchtime detention, Official Detention Notice sent home to parent to be signed and returned to school the following day, student loses sticker on calendar for that day.

Rewards:

Praise

Stickers on personal calendar

Positive notes/phone calls home

Tangible incentives from Treasure Chest (treats, toys, pencils, etc.)

Special privileges to be determined on an individual basis

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

All students will receive a calendar that is to be transported between home and school via his or her take-home folder. Students can earn a sticker for each day they do not need to make an entry in the log. Parents are asked to review and sign the calendar entries daily. Children who earn stickers for all school days in any one month earn a special treat or privilege.

Please know that I pledge to be fair and consistent in administering the discipline plan as outlined above. It is my hope that this program will help to ensure that each pupil enjoys a safe, nurturing, distraction-free learning environment.

*The Behavior Log is a spiral notebook set aside specifically for the purpose of recording student behavior and is intended to be used as a learning tool. When students are required to produce a written record of their own behaviors they are more likely to reflect upon poor choices, correct mistakes, and make responsible choices in the future.
