Office Managed Behaviors
The following behaviors can lead to a disciplinary referral to the office. Additionally, be sure that you have documented how you handled the problem (parental contact, contracting with student, writing sentences about behavior, detention with teacher). Referrals to the principal should only occur after a student has progressed through the classroom discipline plan. Except for severe behavior, which may necessitate an immediate referral to principal, students should receive a consequence from the teacher, which includes a parental contact, prior to being referred to the principal.
