Jefferson Elementary utilizes a color-coded five-point scale model adopted from "The Incredible Five Point Scale" behavior curriculum to categorize student behaviors. The scale visual helps translate Jefferson's behavioral expectations into a language that elementary students can understand. In addition, having common behavioral language helps promote consistency across different settings within our school building.
