Behavior Policy

I expect students in 5th grade to come to school with RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, and READY to learn.

Rules/Guidelines

1. No student has the right to interfere with the learning of other students.

2. Always do your best and keep a positive attitude .

3. Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself.

4. Come to school each day prepared.

Challenge to Excellence has adapted a new school-wide behavior system called Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports or PBIS. PBIS is framework for maximizing the selection and use of evidence-based prevention and intervention practices along a multi-tiered continuum that supports the academic, social, emotional, and behavioral competence of all students. Our staff came up with school-wide expectations that we in our class will use as a tool for teaching expected behaviors. The acronym, PRIDE, is the format that was decided to present these expectations. The letters in the acronym stand for:

Perseverance

Respect

Integrity

Determination

Epathy

This approach to managing behaviors is a positive one. Students are acknowledged school wide for exhibiting the behaviors that we expect. They will receive a PRIDE ticket. These PRIDE tickets are turned into the office for weekly drawings for a “special” reward.

In the event that a student does need interventions to correct a specific behavior, all teachers will be following the same intervention steps. These steps are as follows:

Intervention 1: Redirect appropriate behavior to meet PRIDE expectations in the form of verbal warning and re-teaching communication privately between the teacher and student.

Intervention 2: Remove student from the situation, discuss behavior and give student a chance to reflect

Intervention 3: If behavior continues student will fill our a reflection form

Intervention 4: Students will email parent (In lower grades, teacher will do this)

Intervention 5: If behavior still continues a parent conference will be set

Intervention 6: Office will intervene and help manage.
