Think Sheets

At Witt we use Think Sheets as a way for students to reflect on a minor behavior that we are trying to discontinue. Behaviors that are not appropriate during class activities are first dealt with through a variety of ways (reminders, clarifying wanted behavior, discussing expectations, refocusing and more). If the behavior does not change then a student may be given a Think Sheet.

If a student brings home a Think Sheet please...

-read it,

-discuss the appropriate or expected behavior with your student,

-sign the Think Sheet, and

-return it to school

This is a quick way to communicate with our parents/guardians.
