Classroom Management

This year we are using a card system and teacher ease to help us record behavior data and encourage students to take on additional accountability and self-monitoring. One card(gold) will be used to mark minor (yellow) behaviors, and one card (tan) will be used to issue warnings/consequences for more disruptive/problematic (orange) behaviors.  Extremely disruptive or dangerous (red) behaviors will be immediate detention and/or office referrals. The cards are in an envelope pasted at the front of your child's assignment notebook. Minor behaviors (orange/gold card) will result in detention once the boxes are filled. Warning (tan card) has the consequences listed on the card. The first two marks are warnings and will be recorded in TeacherEase. The third mark is a phone call home and this will also be recorded in TeacherEase. The fourth one will be a detention and parent contact. The fifth one will be an office referral.
