Behavior Policy
In grades 3-6 we will be using a monthly communication calendar to monitor student behavior. Examples of warning behaviors that would be recorded on this log include but are not limited to: talking and or shouting out, being disrespectful, and practicing inappropriate cafeteria or recess behavior.  If a student accumulates 3 warning behaviors in a given month, they will be issued a demerit.  Certain behaviors such as disrespect towards classmates or faculty, inappropriate language, and physical fighting warrant an automatic demerit and will be handled on a case by case basis.  

Positive Reward System
For any time when the whole class shows outstanding behavior, receives a compliment from someone outside of our class, or performs perfectly on an exam, a tally will go to the “whole class” group on the board. When the whole class reaches 15 tally marks, they will be able to choose a reward slip for the whole class from the “Group Prizes” poster. 

Individual Prizes
Some individual prizes found in the prize bins include homework passes, “switch a seat” passes, colorful erasers, or pencils.

Group Prizes
A group can discuss and agree if they would like to donate their 10 tally marks to the “whole class” group, or they may each chose from the individual prize bin.

Whole Class Prizes
Some whole class prizes include extra recess time, no homework day, pizza party, and many more. The “Group Prizes” poster is layered, with higher levels of rewards found as the layers are removed. The final reward is a surprise… but I promise it’s a good one!
