Level I Mild Misbehavior: Classroom Management

Level 1 infractions are those discipline issues that the classroom teacher will handle without the assistance of the administrators. By using restorative practices, classroom rules, consequences, and positive reinforcement, Level 1 infractions will normally not escalate to a higher level. 

• Tardiness

• Public Displays of Affection

• Sleeping

• Cheating/copying/forgery

• Disrupting class(yelling out, talking, making noise, fidgeting)

• Off task, refusal to do assignment or participate in class

• Horseplay

• Throwing an object (if nothing has broken or no one has been hurt)

• Disrespect (Ex: rolling eyes, talking back, smacking, refusal to look in the eye, attitude, inappropriate tone, inappropriate body language)

• Preparedness – missing assignments and/or materials

• Eating/drinking

• Minor dress code infractions

• Littering

• Using cell phone or other electronic device (if not recording someone or showing inappropriate material)

• Violation of classroom rules

• Classroom insubordination

Action:

• These are to be handled in your classroom and documented with a phone call, email, or other communication to the parent/ guardian.

• If you feel the behaviors above prevent you from teaching your class, schedule a meeting with the grade level administrator.

Level II Moderate Behaviors: Possible Referrals

Level 2 referrals do not require the immediate attention of the campus administrators. The student should remain in the classroom with the teacher at the time of the infraction. 

• Repeated L1 Infractions where there is documentation that the teacher has notified the parent and tried T1 interventions/consequences to address the behavior

• Use of profanity/inappropriate language

• Extremely defiant behavior and classroom insubordination that substantially interferes with the learning environment

• Chronic tardiness/absenteeism

• Bus conduct (If the misconduct severely interferes with the safety and security of others, then go to L3)

• Theft < $25

• Leaving class or room without permission (immediately call the office to notify someone and then write a referral)

Action:

• Enforce your classroom management plan, and document all behavior.

• Schedule a time to meet with the appropriate Assistant Principal and bring all documentation of misbehavior and interventions that you have tried along with parent contacts. 

Level III Severe Misbehavior: Automatic Referrals

Level 3 referrals require the immediate attention of the administrative staff. When making a Level 3 referral, the student involved will be sent or escorted to the office by the referring staff member or taken to the office by an administrator.
