Grade Distribution

Behavior Chart

Each day students start on green. Showing excellence will lead students to moving their clip up to blue or purple. Bad choices and behavior will lead to students having their clip down to yellow orange or red.

If before P.E. or recess their clip is below green they must sit out. If they are on yellow they sit out for 5 minutes, orange 15 minutes, red the whole recess or P.E. period.

The first weeks of school while students are still learning expectations they will be given more warnings. As the year progresses and students are familiar with expectations they will be given less warnings.

For more information check the student handbook.
