Behavior Policy
I am a firm believer that students are the most successful in a structured environment where they feel safe and valued. I implement positive behavior techniques that focus on student success and encourage curiosity, participation and respect. Students will be held to a high standard of conduct academically and behaviorally.
o I allow students to freely make choices in our classroom, as long as they are not causing a problem for somebody else.
o If a student causes a problem, I will ask them to fix it.
o If a student does not fix the problem, I will step in.
o My response to behavior issues will be unique to each situation. I believe in natural consequences (if a child throws food in the lunch room, s/he must spend their time cleaning up the mess).
o If at any time a student feels that something is unfair, they are welcome to come to me. I will set aside time to chat with the student privately to find common ground.

***In the case that a student makes a poor choice that requires parent involvement, I will send home a behavior referral form to be signed and returned the next day.***
