Student Behaviour

Day Book

To help keep an eye on the behaviour of the children we use the Day Book in Schoolbase for S1-S5 and S7 (S6 is through ManageBac). This allows Class Teachers and the Pastoral Team to monitor students' behaviour - both positive and negative! Items to flag up include:

Dishonesty
Disruptive behaviour
General concern
Late arrival
Missing equipment
Homework not done
Phone use

and positive:

Excellent work
Good work
Kindness
Merit

It is NOT set up to send an automatic email to the parents, so please don't let the references to emails worry you. You can skip the action at the end if it is not relevant.

To add a note via the lesson registration or the pupil finder, click on the 3 dots:

Add a day book entry

Fill in the fields

Don't forget to put in the positives too!

After you save you have the options on the left. You can just close it, or you can choose to email staff, the pupil and the Class Teacher or even the parents from here.

Alternatively if you do not wish to do any of this, just click close, and it will just be saved against the pupils record for an overall overview on behaviour.

The notes from the daybook can be found by selecting the child and then clicking on Day Book at the top (so no need to open the child's record).

Class Teachers can use a quick R& S export to see the results every week and may wish to contact the child/parents to discuss before a situation gets out of hand.

Please notify the Deputy Headteacher/Counsellor/Pastoral Team if this a repeated issue and you feel that the situation needs escalation.
