Behavior Management

The second-gradeteachers will be using a behavior management “clip-chart.” Each student willhave a clothespin, which will start out on the green, middle section labeled“Ready to Learn.” Students making good choices will have the opportunity tomove their clips up the chart to yellow – “Good Day, ” orange – “Great Job,” orred – “Outstanding.” Students making poor choices will be asked to move theirclips down the chart to blue – “Think About It,” purple – “Teacher’s Choice,”or pink, “Parent Contact.” Students who move their clips down the chart willhave the opportunity to move them back up as their behavior improves. We feelthat this system will motivate students to make the right choices byrecognizing positive behavior as well as negative.

Students who movetheir clips down the chart will receive consequences which include:

• Blue “Think About It” – This is simply a warning that the student      should make better choices. The student will not receive a consequence if the behavior is corrected, but will move down the chart if it is not.
• Purple “Teacher’s Choice” - The teacher will choose a consequence that is meaningful to the student. This could include loss of recess time, isolation in the classroom or at lunch, or loss of PE time.
• Pink “Parent Contact” – If a student is continuing to make poor choices, the teacher will contact the student’s parent. Even if the student moves back up the chart in the course of the day, the parent will still be contacted if misbehavior reaches this level. The student will also receive the teacher’s choice of a consequence.

**Students engaging in severely disruptivebehavior will be sent to the principal’s office.

Conduct Grades:

Students willreceive a score each day, according to what level of the chart they are on atthe end of the day.

Daily scores willbe totaled to determine the student’s weekly conduct grade.

• 24-35 =  E (Excellent)

• 17-23 = S (Satisfactory)
• 11-16 =  N (Needs improvement)
• 1-10    = U (Unsatisfactory)

Students in the Nor U range for the week will not be allowed to participate in Fun Friday. Theywill complete a reflection page instead.
