  note explaining their behavior that caused the
  change!

15
A Rainbow of Great Behavior
Each day, students will start in the middle
section of our behavior clip chart on green.
Good choices will allow students to move up the
chart. Poor choices will result in students
moving down on the clip chart. Moving into the
orange zone means the teacher will decide on the
appropriate consequence based on the action and
the individual student need. After this
consequence, we believe that students will be
ready to learn again. A note will be sent home
or a phone call will be made directly to the
parent if the student moves down into the red
zone.
Once the sticker chart has been filled, the
student will be able to choose a reward from the
individual teachers choices.
Students will color their agenda daily so that
parents can track their childs behavior each
day. Please be sure to initial/sign your childs
agenda daily!
16
Protocol for misbehaving

• Three warnings before moving their pin( notebook
  not being signed looses morning stations-will we
  forgive 3 times)
• Note is sent home to parents with details of the
  childs behavior and must be signed.
• If a student gets 3 lower colors than green, the
  student will call their parent in the presence of
  the teacher to report his/her inappropriate
  behavior.
• If behavior problems continue a conference is set
  up with parent and child to work on correcting
  the behavior.
• If the behavior continues, the student will be
  taken to the Office and they receive a discipline
  note. (last resort)

17
Absences

• When your child is absent you must send a note
  explaining the absence on the day they return to
  school.
• Any student absent 4 or more days within a 9
  week attendance period or 16 days per year could
  result in
• automatic retention.
• If you are going on a trip you can get
  preapproval for absences but this will still be
  counted as an absence.
