III.  SCHOOLWIDE DISCIPLINE PLAN – Mrs. Deatheredge – Plan is based on types and amount of referrals. A teacher from each grade level is on the committee. Each staff member completed a behavior survey to create a plan. Classes follow the Leader in Me Program. Not being enforced as much as it should. Idea- Monday Motivation: Choose students exhibiting a specific behavior to come on NEST. Classes use a clip system or Class Dojo.

Each Behavior will be accompanied by a lesson plan. We will also follow the discipline flow chart. What should I do next and who should I contact?
