Positive Behavior Plan

Centerville Elementary School

We are here to: 1) Learn. 2) Take care of each other. 3) Have fun.

How will we recognize the great things that happen every day at Centerville Elementary?

Blue Star Tickets: Individual recognition for great things students do every day.

·  Earned for ALL positive behaviors: academic, citizenship, or exemplary actions.

·  Can be earned at any time, at any place, and from any adult.

·  This is not something a student asks to earn, but it is an opportunity for us to tell what we appreciate in you!

·  Blue star tickets are not the reason for being awesome, because we should always do our best, and be our best, everywhere. That is part of who we are.

What happens when I earn a blue star ticket?

1.  Put your name on the back and put it into your class drawing.

2.  Drawings for one blue ticket from each classroom will be held each Friday afternoon at 1:00 PM.

3.  Winners each Friday sign the Celebrate the Positive Bulletin Board, have their group picture put up on the bulletin board, and have their ticket added to the Principal’s 200 Club!

4.  Ten (10) in a row in the Principal’s Club will choose to participate in a Principal Party.

5.  Teachers can also have a drawing ANY time they want in their classroom for other types of recognition.

Eagle Wings: Individual Recognition for even greater things that students do!

·  Award given by any staff member, to any student.

·  Shared in morning announcements.

·  We get to call your parents and tell them how awesome you are!

·  Student automatically draws number to be placed on the Principal’s 200 club board.

·  Give certificate, pin, and take picture with parents.

·  Given for any of the following reasons: Academic, Behavior, Citizenship, or anything else!

Eagle Feathers: Whole Class Awards

1.  Given to your whole class when EVERYONE in the class is following class or school procedures.

2.  Color of Eagle Feather determined by location and/or grade.

3.  Given by any staff member to any other class (not their own).

4.  10 Eagle Feathers = Eagle for classroom above door and class entered into Principal Party drawing.

Our School Rules

1. Be Responsible

2.  Be Respectful & Kind

3.  Be Safe

What happens when I break the school rules and receive a reminder when I am not responsible, respectful & kind, or safe?

Centerville Elementary will maintain a level system for handling infractions of behavioral expectations. Outlined below is the level system along with the instructions for handling such behaviors:

Level 1 behaviors include:

·  Calling/Talking Out Classroom Disruptions

·  Dress Code Violations

·  Toys, Skate Boards, Personal Electronic Devices (PED)

·  Profanity

·  Tardiness

·  Lying / Cheating

·  Aggression (pushing / shoving)

·  Failure to Comply with Rules & Teacher Directions (Non-Compliance)

·  Belligerent / Disrespectful Attitude

·  Inappropriate Comments / Put Downs / Teasing

·  Work Completion

·  Lunchroom violation (throwing food, stealing food, etc.)

Step 1: Level 1 behaviors are to be handled by the classroom teacher or staff member witnessing such behaviors. Teachers will model the appropriate behavior and restate the expectation to the student.

Step 2: If behaviors persist, the classroom teacher will have the student go to the SNAP Center within the classroom or within a buddy classroom (at least two grade levels difference). While at the SNAP Center, the student will fill out a Reflect & Refocus (R&R) form. Logical consequences should be applied (directly related to the behavior, i.e., cleaning up a mess that the student made). Later the same day, the classroom teacher will meet with the student for the purpose of reviewing the R&R form, role playing appropriate behaviors, restating the expectations, and determining any other obstacles to compliance. The classroom teacher will also notify the parent that same day by phone or email of the incident (documented on the R&R form). A copy of the completed R&R form will be sent home with the students. Confirmation that the parent is aware of the incident should be documented through email, phone conversation, or by a parent signature on the R&R form.

Step 3: If similar Level 1 behaviors are repeated more than 3 times, then the classroom teacher will send a Successful Recess Referral Form (SRRF) to be approved by the student’s parents. After the SRRF has been signed by the parent and returned, it should be placed in the Successful Recess Box.

Step 4: If Level 1 behaviors have not improved after the interventions above have been implemented, teachers will complete the Intervention Tracking Form – Behavior (blue) and put in an administrator’s mailbox. One or more Instructional Team members will attend your next Professional Leaning Community (PLC) or Grade Level Team Meeting (GLTM) to brainstorm ideas for formulating a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) and conducting a Functional Behavioral Analysis (FUBA).

Level 2 behaviors include:

·  **Chronic Level 1 Behaviors

·  Acceptable User Agreement Abuse

·  Sexual, Racial or Religious slurs, Extensive Profanity, Threats, Gestures or other Abusive Language

·  Fighting or Aggression (defined as two or more students engaged in deliberate aggression toward one another)

·  Sexual Harassment of Student or Teacher

·  Leaving School Grounds / Truancy

·  Stealing / Forgery

·  Minor Vandalism or Destruction of Property (restorable)

·  Taunting / Bullying / Gossiping / Exclusion

Step 1: Level 2 behaviors must be communicated to school administration by the end of the day of the incident (unless they are chronic Level 1 behaviors) so that proper documentation can occur.

Step 2: Teachers should follow the same protocol for Level 1 Behaviors (i.e., SNAP Center, R&R Form, etc.). If classroom teachers feel their own safety or that of the students is in jeopardy, they may refer the student to the office at the teacher’s discretion. When the R&R Form is complete, the student will meet with school administration to review School Rules and District Safe Schools Policy where applicable. This will take place with the student when classroom instruction is least interrupted and an administrator is available. After meeting with the student, an administrator will fill send a SRRF home with the student and an administrator will notify the student’s parents of the incident.

Level 3 behaviors include:

·  **Chronic Level 2 Behaviors

·  Bringing a real or pretend weapon to school to intimidate or to threaten an individual (expulsion can be warranted)

·  Arson or Bomb Threat

·  Major Vandalism or Destruction of Property (irreversible)

·  Using, possessing, distributing, or selling real or pretend drugs (prescription drugs, illegal drugs, alcohol)

·  Gang activity on or about school property (threatening, soliciting gang membership, flashing signs, wearing gang apparel)

·  Bullying, Cyber-bullying, Harassment, Hazing Retaliation (retribution for a student reporting bullying) on or about school property including bus stop and on the school bus. School officials can discipline students for off-campus speech that disrupts the school environment or interferes with a student’s educational performance.

Step 1: **Level 3 behaviors should be referred to the office immediately. Because of the seriousness of the behavior, the classroom teacher should gather any witness statements from students or staff members that observed the incident or were involved. Consequences for students who engage in level 3 behaviors include immediate removal from the classroom for a period of time followed by a suspension.
