Behavior Plan 2017-2018
- First, if a student is disobeying the classroom procedures, a discussion will take place with the student and I to review the classroom procedures.
- If a behavior problem continues to occur after the student and I have discussed the wrongdoings of conduct; contact of the guardian will occur by note or phone.
- Lastly, if a student continues to disrupt the classroom environment, the student will be sent to the office for further discipline.
- Severe offenses will bypass the three step offense protocols if necessary
These materials are necessary for class and should be available throughout the year.
