To make sure that our classroom runs efficiently and in order to keep a 
positive learning atmosphere, I have developed a classroom discipline plan.  
This plan affords guidance for every student in making good decisions about 
his or her behavior and thus an opportunity to learn in a positive, 
nurturing environment.  Your child deserves the most positive educational 
climate possible for his or her own growth, and I know that together we will 
make a difference in this process.  The plan below outlines our classroom 
rules, positive rewards, and consequences for appropriate and inappropriate 
behavior.
Our class uses CHAMPS with PBS (descriptions for both below).  It has been a 
huge success!  If you have any questions about these programs, ask your child 
or myself.

Rules:
1.	Follow directions the first time they are given.
2.	Stay in your seat unless give permission to get up.
3.	Raise your hand to speak.
4.	Keep all hands, feet, and other objects to yourself.
5.	Respect and cooperate with others.
6.	Come prepared with a positive learning attitude every day!

Rewards:
		At any point during the day, your child may be caught doing 
what is asked of them in a timely, efficient manner.  In this case, they can 
be rewarded in many ways.  Some things include but are not limited to:  
stickers, candy, positive notes, free time, homework pass, verbal praise, or 
treasure chest tickets.

Louisiana Positive Behavior Support Initiative
 School-Wide Positive Behavior Support

Positive Behavior Support is a collaborative, assessment-based approach to 
developing effective interventions for problem behavior.  It emphasizes the 
use of proactive, educative, and reinforcement-based strategies to achieve 
meaningful and durable behavior and lifestyle outcomes.  PBS aims to build 
effective environments in which positive behavior is more effective than 
problem behavior.

When PBS strategies are implemented school-wide, students with and without 
disabilities benefit by having an environment that is conducive to learning.  
All individuals (students, staff, teachers, parents) learn more about their 
own behavior, learn to work together, and support each other as a community 
of learners.

Abney Elementary will implement the PBS program school-wide. On-going 
training and monthly, team meetings will provide support and guidance for all 
members of the Abney learning community.

Spartan “Sense” 
         (A positive individual student incentive)

*What is Spartan Sense? 
 -Spartan Sense is a school-wide incentive program at Abney Elementary.  It 
encompasses the school-wide PBS program and focuses on Abney’s school 
expectations of the 3 Be’s.

*What does the Spartan Sense “Dollar” look like?
-The Spartan Sense dollar is a piece of paper with a Spartan head on it 
representing a “dollar bill”.  There is a spot for the students name at the 
bottom, just in case it gets lost.

*How is it given out?
- If any teacher/faculty member sees a child exhibiting the 3 Be’s they are 
able to give that student a Spartan Sense “dollar”. 
-Examples are: seeing someone help another student with holding door, picking 
up something that falls, stopping in line to let adults or other students 
pass)
-This could be ANYTHING in OR out of the classroom.

*What does a student do with their Spartan Sense Dollars?
-Once a week, every Friday, with the help of PTA volunteer coordinator, Tonya 
Martin and other volunteers, we will be having a Spartan Shop.  Items were 
purchased over the summer that will be used as “prizes” in exchange for 
Spartan Dollars.

*How does a child keep track of their Spartan Sense Dollars?
-Each student is responsible for their OWN dollars…they can keep them in an 
envelope, baggie, whatever they want.

CHAMPS PROGRAM

CHAMPs is a proactive and positive approach to classroom management.  Champs 
will compliment the school’s current Positive Behavior Support program 
currently in place at the school.  The goal of the CHAMPs program is to 
develop and foster in each classroom an environment where students are 
responsible, motivated, and highly engaged in meaningful tasks.  The faculty 
has been spending the last few weeks attending various workshops to assist 
them in implementing the CHAMPs program in their classrooms.  The Champs 
program is also school-wide with students' expectations being the same 
anywhere on the Abney Campus.
