GRADE LEVEL DISCIPLINE PLAN

It is vital that every student is provided the opportunity to learn in the classroom free of distractions. Therefore, the fifth grade team has devised a Demerit System, as well as built in rewards for good behavior, that will be used consistently in all classrooms. Demerit tallies begin with each new trimester.

If your child receives a demerit for not following school/classroom rules, he/she will be writing a behavioral plan during recess and/or lunch recess. If the behavioral plan is not completed at school, it will be continued the following day. Demerits may NOT be completed at home. After your child has completed the demerits, he/she will take it home and have a parent sign it; therefore recognizing your child’s misconduct. The signed demerit will be returned to the teacher on the following day. If it is not signed and returned, it will result in detention during recess or lunch.

Procedures

The list below shows the steps each 5th grade teacher will follow:
