Rules+of+Conduct


 * At the beginning of the year, I will sit the students down and go over what I expect of them as far as rules of the classroom, the hallways, the lunchroom, the playground, as well as what bullying is. Then they will sign their name on a class contract that says they will follow these rules.

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">**CONSEQUENCES** <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">**-**First offense is a verbal warning- clip is not moved, but an apology is said for breaking the rules. <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">-Second offense is THEY move their clip to yellow. They have apologize for breaking the rules again and what they could do to not do it again. 5 minutes off recess (walking the fence, or around the playground) <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">-Third offense is THEY move their clip to red. They have to apologize to the whole class for disrupting their learning. During recess they have to write a note to their parents explaining why they are in trouble and how they plan on not doing it again. When they're done, they turn it in to me and if I approve I sign it and it goes home with them for their parent to sign. After I have signed it, they walk the rest of recess. <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">-Continued offenses is a call home to their parent and sent to the office.
