Consequences

• Raven Way Flight Log Infractions
• Pink Sheet
• If the behavior of a student starts to distract the learning in the classroom or cause a threat to others, there will be consequences. There are steps the teacher will take before a referral and they are:
  1. Small redirection (I will privately ask the student to redirect themselves and think about their choices via hall conference, post-it note, etc.)
  2. Verbal Warning
  3. Cool Off Corner (classroom isolation or seat change) or bounce to another classroom on the team or within math discipline
  4. Written Intervention/Student Reflection/Parent Contact
  5. Office Referral
