This year we will be using the Traffic Light in order to manage student behavior. The three colors on our traffic light are green, yellow, and red. Each student will begin the day on green and have several verbal warnings before having to move to yellow or red. If a student moves to yellow he/she might earn the opportunity to move back to green. If a student moves his/her clip to red, he/she may earn the opportunity to move back to yellow.

Students may be asked to move clips after several verbal warnings for not following our classroom RIGHTS and RESPONSIBILITIES.  These include items such as talking too loudly, talking during instruction, putting hands/feet on others, not participating, not completing work…

Improved behavior will result in moving back to green, while behavior that does not improve or worsens may result in moving to red.

Clips may be moved directly to red if a student harms another student or commits other serious offenses.

Please check your child’s take home folder every night and sign his/her behavior form.  Please discuss their behavior with them.
