Behavior Plan
Ms. Prater and Mrs. Smyth
2022-2023
Expectations

1. Say and do kind things.
2. Be a good listener.  Listen with your ears, eyes, and heart.
3. Take care of yourself, others, our classroom, and our school.
4. Be prepared for class, follow directions quickly, complete your work, and always do your best!

Consequences
1. Tally mark on clip board (5 minutes off Fun Friday) Ex: 3 tally marks in a week= 15 minutes off Fun Friday
2. Two tally marks lost in one week – silent snack 
3. Three tally marks lost in one week = silent lunch and/or parent contact
*Certain behavior that is not tolerated at DPES is an automatic office referral.
Your child will have a Responsible Student Behavior Log in their binder.  They will record any tallies they received on the calendar.  Please check your child’s log daily and initial on that day.  Failure to get this initialed will result in another “Tally” mark.  Parent Square will be our new form of communication so we will contact you there if necessary.

Students can earn back minutes for Fun Friday or special treats for improved or outstanding behavior.  Possible positive behaviors:  helping others, receiving a compliment from staff members, displaying team work/synergizing, persistence in completing a difficult task, etc.
