HALLWAY BEHAVIOR GUIDELINES

General Hallway Behavior: (going to and from places)

  • Walk quietly and appropriately at all times
  • Walk on the right side of the hallway
  • Hands at your side
  • No talking
  • One or two lines when your with your class (teacher decides)

Behavior at your locker: (Two Minutes)

  • Go directly to your locker
  • Get what you need
  • Go directly back to your classroom
  • Quiet voices

GUIDELINE FOR TICKETS

  • Individual students, small groups or a class can earn ONE ticket for following expectations for hallway and locker behavior.
  • Students are not to ask for tickets. This is based totally on staff observation only.
  • Teachers can hand out ONE ticket for their own class when hallway/locker behavior is exemplary
  • Tickets are earned not taken away
  • A representative from each class brings weekly total on Friday to the office with the class mail (announcement will be made on KSK news on Mondays)
  • Teachers can also do their own reward system to motivate their class

Examples of Logical ConsequencesInclude:

  • Time Out: This idea of "Time Out" is used somewhat differently than how time out may have been used in the past. It may be referred to as: the "vacation spot"; a time to "take a break"; time for R & R (rest & relax); "Chill Out" time, etc. This will be decided within each classroom. If a child is disruptive to their learning or the learning of others, s/he goes to a designated spot in the room. The time-out is short. The child comes back as soon as s/he has regained self-control. Children may also go voluntarily to time out if they become anxious, frustrated, or need time to take a break or refocus.
  • Loss of Privilege: If a child misuses a material or acts out during an activity, that child will be told to stop using the material or stop doing the activity for a short period of time. The privilege will be restored when the child and teacher have talked about how to prevent a similar problem in the future.
  • "You Break It, You Fix It": If a child damages something or hurts someone's feelings, s/he will try to fix the damage. In the case of hurting someone's feelings, the child might offer an "apology of action" by writing a card, helping with an activity, making an illustration, or taking some other action beyond verbally saying "sorry".

NOTE:Aggressive behavior that may cause harm to students and/or property or repeatedly disrupts the learning of others will result in direct administrative action. For example: fighting, continued bullying/harassment, vandalism.
