Rewards for Students
Students, who have received R Bucks throughout the week, will turn them into the office on Friday.   5 student’s names will be chosen to be the Citizen of the Week.  Those students will spin the Wheel of Fortune on Monday, during the morning assembly, to choose their prize.  Their picture will be displayed on the bulletin board, on the TV in the front lobby, and on the website. At the end of the nine weeks, all students’ R Bucks will be reentered for a drawing.  10 students will be picked for a grand prize.  The grand prize might include lunch out of the building (student choice), ride in a limo, movie, and cash award.  Awards will be displayed so that students will be aware of the 9 week goal.  Class R Bucks will also be collected weekly and classroom points will be displayed.  When each classroom reaches a designated number of points (TBD), they will receive a reward as a class (TBD) and be announced over the intercom for all to hear and celebrate with.

 

 

Rewards for Staff
On Monday, a student worker will bring each staff member 7 white and 3 red R Bucks to be given out each week.  Each R Buck must be completed with student name, referring teacher’s name, date, the expectation that the student is displaying at that time, and any comments that the referring staff member might have.  If a student’s R Buck is picked on Friday, the referring staff member will be rewarded by spinning the Wheel of Fortune on Monday during morning assembly.  Awards might include Quizno’s lunch, candy bar, soda, ream of paper, sub for 1 day off bus duty (your choice of day), etc.

Classroom Behavior Plan
Each classroom teacher will have a colored rod and clothespins to use as the classroom behavior system.  The rod is colored to match the Teacher Interventions on the Office Referral Checklist. The rods should move with the students to art, library, music, PE, lunch and other classes that students may travel to.  Each student will have a clothespin that will begin each day on the green part of the rod.  Refer to the following criteria for discipline issues:
Green = good behavior
Verbal warning
Blue = (Intervention #1)
Verbal cueing, proximity control, review and practice expectations,
student conference
Yellow = (Intervention #2)
    Verbal cueing, proximity control, review and practice expectations,
    parent contact (letter home, note in agenda, phone call)
Red = (Intervention #3)

Any behaviors that cause a student to move beyond the red section of the rod, may result in a call to the office and an office referral or visit to the counselor.
Students will begin each day on the green part of the rod.
