  • Behavior Plan
  • We will start the year using a ticket system.
    Students will receive tickets for outstanding
    behavior and exceptional classwork. Each week, we
    will gather all the tickets and have a drawing
    for prizes. The more tickets students have, the
    better their chances are!

Please remember to check your childs assignment
book and take-home folder each night for homework
and important information!
23
Consequences
  • If students display behaviors that do not adhere
    to the school-wide behavior expectations, parents
    will be contacted via email, phone call, or a
    written note.
  • Students may lose portions of recess due to
    misbehavior or incomplete assignments.
  • If the behavior continues or the infraction is
    more serious, a BIR (behavior incident report)
    may be issued. This will involve a loss of the
    SWEBS reward and possibly a meeting with
    administrators to determine further consequences.
    BIRs can be given at school, recess, and on the
    bus.

24
Homework
  • Regular homework assignments will include reading
    for 20 minutes each night. Math homework will
    also be given regularly to reinforce strategies
    learned in class. Students are expected to review
    for social studies and science.
