DISCIPLINE:
I do an individual discipline program, which is also used in grades 1-3. Each child will have a green, yellow, and red card.
The students will always begin each day on green. - If the
child goes through the day without having to be reminded to be quiet, be kind, don’t argue, etc. then that child will
stay on green.
- If I have to warn the child three times to be well behaved, to
stop talking, etc. that child will get a yellow card. I will just go over and change his or her card. This
means the child needs to be cautious.
- If I have to talk with that child
one more time, then that child goes to red and I will call the child’s parents or talk to the parents when they arrive
for pick-up.
- If a child goes to red, it is marked down in my discipline folder.
- If a child goes to red a second time, then I will meet with the child and parent together.
- If a child goes to red a third time, then that child meets with the principal and he will decide what need to be
done.
- If a child gets into a physical fight with another child, then that child will automatically
go to red, the parents will be called, and the child will go to visit the principal.
P.A.T.
This stands for Preferred Activity Time. P.A.T. is time that the entire class can earn by being good listeners, lining
up quietly, walking in the halls quietly, remembering to raise hands before talking, getting along with others, cleaning up
quickly and carefully, etc. The class can use their earned time to do special activities like watch an educational movie,
play an educational game, earn extra free center time, etc. It is a reward system for the entire class to work towards being
well behaved. The class can lose time if they are being disruptive or not being good listeners, etc. They usually work hard
to add up their P.A.T. time. This also helps the class to learn how to work together as a team for a common goal. “CAUGHT
BEING GOOD” cards – as a positive reward incentive program, I use “Caught Being Good” cards in my
classroom. These are handed to the child for being on task, returning Friday Folders, showing kindness to others, etc. Your
child will sign the back of the card and enter in a drawing for a small prize out of the prize box. The drawings take place
every Friday and three children’s names will be randomly drawn each Friday for a prize.
•Our school policy states that there is NO TOLERANCE for violence. If
your child becomes physically violent with another student they will be suspended from school immediately. A student
suspended from school the first time will be sent home for a day without being able to make up missed assignments. Repeat
offenders will be asked to stay out for two days. After a child has been suspended a third time, he/she may not reenter
the school until his/her parent or guardian returns with him/her for a full school day.
School wide expectations of students can be found in the student handbook, along with consequences for violations.
Any other information not covered here can be found in the school handbook.
