Behavior PlanBehavior Plan Student behavior is kept track of through the clip
chart. Each child starts on the green “Ready to Learn”
section. Getting “caught” being good results in moving up the chart. Making poor choices results in moving down to yellow or red. Moving to yellow is a warning. Moving then to red results in a consequence such as time off recess or a $2.00 fine in the mini-economy.
Behavior will be noted in student agendas each day. I ask that parents sign the agenda each night.
