The behavior matrix is a tool that lays out what's to be expected form students in different areas of schol, like classrooms, hallways, and lunchrooms. It lists the behaviors that are considered acceptable, shows how to handle different situations, and outlines the consequences for both good and bad actions. 

Rewards can be earned by students who show great character and act as a model student. Rewards can also be attainded by accomplishing goals, big or small. This could be a great system to use for teachers to pick one student monthly who they think shows great character and goes above and beyond to be a good student. 

As in our newsletter, the student who won the reward can be showcased. Their parent can be sent a paper copy of the newsletter as well. This would be a good motivation for students and parents.

Each of the reward listed is an option the student may choose from. 

• $5 Gift Card: Visa gift card to be used anywhere.

• Free Admission to any sport: They can choose any sporting event and recieve one ticket for free entry.

• Candy Bar: The student may pick a candy bar of their choosing and eat in during school.

• Nap Time: The student may have a 30 minute rest time, unbothered.

There is a difference in Major infractions and Minor infractions. Minor infractions refer to behaviors that disrupt the learning environment without posing significant risks, such as talking our of turn or showing slight disrespect. these typically warrant informal interventions, like verbal warnings from teachers. In contrast, major infractions involve serious violations of school policies, such as fighting or substance use, that can jeopardize the safety and well-being of students and staff. These behaviors require immediate attention and often result in more severe consequences, like suspenstions, to maintain a safe and supportive learning environment (TAC 2025).
