Behavior

We use the campus wide behavior system. If students move their clip down, I will make a note in their folder.

Consequences include PAWS to Think, parent contact, office referrals, time out at recess (to complete missed work), change in seating arrangement.

We also use I Matters and Mr. Potato Head.
