Communication & Discipline

In order to maintain a classroom environment that allows all children to 
function and learn, our class will use the following classroom discipline 
plan.  Please read and discuss the following rules, consequences, and 
rewards with your child.

1.	CLASSROOM RULES:
•	I will listen and follow directions carefully.
•	I will speak with permission and stay in my seat.
•	I will keep my hands, feet, and objects to myself.
•	I will use good manners and always wait for my turn.
•	I will do my best work and take care of materials.

2.	MANAGEMENT SYSTEM:
•	Green card = “E”   “Keep going….GREAT JOB!”     Keeps all cards:)  
•	Yellow card = “S”   “Slow-down, Warning, Caution!”  Loses 1 card 
•	Orange card = “S”   “Time Out to Think and Reflect” Loses 2 cards
         Red card = “N”   “STOP!  Put on the brakes!”       Loses 3 cards:(  

3.	CONSEQUENCES:
•	1st time a rule is broken (OOPS!) The student will be reminded of 
          of the class rules.

•	2nd time a rule is broken The student will remove the “Green” card.  
         (Warning/Caution).  The teacher will conference with the student.
 
•	3rd time a rule is broken A student will remove the “Yellow” card.  
	(Time out for reflection).  The student will sit in time out and     
          reflect on the class rule/s broken and the choices they made.

•	4th time a rule is broken The student removes their “Orange” card.  
	(Loss of recess or center time).  Parent communication will be sent 
	home for the parent’s signature.

 ***Severe misbehavior will result in the appropriate disciplinary action.***

4.	REWARDS:
•	Students with appropriate behavior will be positively rewarded!

•	Students can earn weekly treats, special certificates, good citizen 
	recognition, student of the month, prize box, stickers, free choice 
	centers, “Good News” notes  home, and other fun activities.

Please read and discuss this Discipline Plan with your child.  We will 
discuss, role play, and practice the plan in class.  A Daily Conduct 
calendar will be completed daily and sent home for the parent’s signature.  
Another adult may sign the behavior calendar should a parent not be 
available that evening.

Although a student's behavior is important, the focus should be on what was 
learned in school that day!  I am Looking Forward to a GREAT 2008-2009!

Sincerely,
Mrs. D. Hebert
