Class Behavior

Classroom rules will follow the three pillars of Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS). Our three pillars in Tipp City are respect, responsibility, and integrity. We spend a great deal of time during the beginning of the year modeling and discussing these behaviors in the different areas of our school. 

I also have a tally system. Each student received 5 tallies (popsicle sticks) at the beginning of the week. If they are not making good choices I will ask them to give me one tally. Students will receive one Tipp Ticket for every tally they have left. At the end of each quarter there is a reward for the students that earn enough tickets to participate.

If students are not exhibiting respect, responsibility, and integrity, they will be given a verbal warning or some type of redirection. If negative behavior continues they will receive a logical consequence such as staying inside to finish their work. They may be asked to complete a Think Sheet which will address the behavior that was wrong and what could be done next time differently. If a Think Slip is sent home, please go over it with your child and send it back to school as soon as possible. At times, I may email or call you to notify of the negative behavior.
