Plan of Action

Green - Making good choices

Yellow - Verbal Warning

Red - Lose 10 min. of recess

Blue - Loss of recess; Note sent home

Students have three opportunities a day to make better choices. I employ the green, yellow, and red card system. Each day, your child will start on green. If one of the rules is broken, he/she will flip a card.  Consequences for behavior begins at the second warning, or red card.  The consequences are as follows:

If cards are flipped to red...

       Lose 10 min. of recess (that day if before lunch; next day if after lunch)

If all cards are pulled...

  Lose whole recess (that day if before lunch; next day if after lunch)

  Note sent home to parents stating what classroom rule(s) were broken.  Note must be signed by parent/guardian and returned the next school day to avoid the lose of an additional recess.

If all cards are pulled more than once during a school week...

   Lose whole recess (that day if before lunch; next day if after lunch)

   Student will be sent to the principal's office

   Phone call home to discuss behavior plan

If there are any extreme behavior problems, the student will immediately be sent to the office.
