Behavior Plan for Ms. Prater & Mrs. Smyth
This year we will be using Class Dojo for behavior management in our classrooms. Class Dojo will allow parents immediate notifications of student misbehaviors. Parents can message us through Dojo. Parents will receive an invite to join their child’s class so that parents can help us celebrate positive behaviors and correct negative ones.
Classroom Expectations:
1. Say and do kind things, be respectful.
2. Be a good listener. Listen with your ears, eyes, hands, brain and heart.
3. Take care of yourself, others, our classroom, and our school.
4. Follow directions, complete assignments and always do your best!
Rewards:
Students can earn extra points for outstanding behavior. Each week, all students who have not received a red dojo will receive all 30 minutes of Fun Friday time. Any extra points will earn students special treats.
Some ways to earn positive points will include the following: helping others, receiving a compliment from another teacher, displaying teamwork, persistence in completing a difficult task, etc.
Consequences:
Each week, the students’ Dojo points will restart. The following information shows the order in which consequences for poor behavior will be documented, communicated to parents, and if needed, communicated to the Assistant Principal.
1.) If a student does what he/she is supposed to do each week, they should receive 30 minutes of Fun Friday time. For every red Dojo they receive for the week, 5 minutes will be subtracted off their Fun Friday time. If a student receives 3 or more red Dojos in one week, parents will be contacted.
2.) The second time a student receives 3 or more red Dojos in a week the parents will have a conference with the teachers.
3.) The third time a student receives 3 or more red Dojos in a week the teachers will turn in an office referral to the assistant principal.
Some ways to receive red Dojo points will include the following: remaining off task, displaying disrespect, damaging property, incomplete assignments, lying, stealing, etc. Some infractions are -1pt while others are -3pts. The infractions that are -3pts are considered more severe and therefore carry more weight than a less severe offense.
*Some offenses will result in an immediate office referral: fighting, bullying or other instances as deemed necessary.
Random Positives: Smarties for being a smarty, Class earns a “Ray of Sunshine” for receiving compliments from other teachers or administration and when the class reaches 30 they will have a popsicle treat. Positive parent phone calls with the class.
