Explanation of Discipline Plan
It is my belief that the parents and/or guardians are the first teachers and the home is the first classroom. Professional educators build on what a child brings to school. For that reason, each success and every concern should be shared by the teacher and parent whenever possible.
Below, I have outlined my classroom expectations that will be in effect for the duration of the year. In order to maintain a positive learning environment, I have developed the same expectations and consequences. This will provide structure and consistency.
Your child will begin with 100 points for citizenship at the beginning of every six weeks. Whenever an expectation is broken after a verbal warning is given, a point will be subtracted.
Classroom Expectations
- Listen and follow directions
- Respect others and property
- Be prepared
- Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself
- Accept responsibility
Rewards for expected classroom behavior

Consequences

- 3rd violation – lose 15 minutes of recess and point off conduct folder
- 4th violation – visit to the Principal’s office
Exceptions
- In extreme behavior situations or repeated offenses the student will be sent directly to an administrator.
- No daily homework results in the loss of recess and a message to parents.
