Discipline Plan

In order to provide our students with the excellent educational climate they deserve, we have developed the following Classroom Discipline Plan that affords every student guidance in making good decisions about their behavior and thus an opportunity to learn in a positive, nurturing class environment. Your child deserves the most positive educational climate possible for his/her growth. Together, we will make a difference in this process. The plan below outlines our rules, possible reward and consequences for appropriate and inappropriate behavior. The rules are:

CLASSROOM RULES

1. Eyes on teacher

2. Lips closed

3. Ears Listening

4. Sit up straight

5. Hands and feet quiet

We will demonstrate and teach the students the behavior that is expected. We will praise the appropriate behavior frequently and at times choose to reward the students with stickers and prizes.

However, if a student chooses to not comply with expected behavior, the teacher will hold the student accountable for his/her actions. The consequence assigned will make the student responsible by requiring the student to correct the damage or harm caused by the misbehavior.

Our classroom management procedures relate to a treasure chest and gold coins. The student begins each day with three gold coins for his/her treasure chest. On Fridays, children can purchase items from classroom treasure chest with their remaining gold coins.

First offense … child receives a verbal warning

Second offense …child gives back one gold coin and goes to thinking/prayer bench for five minutes

Third offense … child give back second gold coin, misses five minutes of playtime, and written note will be sent home.

Fourth offense … child gives back third gold coin and parents will be contacted by phone to talk with child.

Severe Clause: If your child is involved in fighting, vandalism, defying a teacher, bad language, or throwing a temper tantrum you will be contacted immediately to pick up your child from school. A behavior report form will be completed.
