PBIS

**Below is the PBIS information that was presented and handed out during Back to School Night.**
Students earn 5 points in each classroom of their core subject areas (Math, Science, Social Studies, Literature, English, 4-5 Music, Physical Education, Computers and Study Hall).
 * __Tracking Student Behaviors in Planners__**

Students must keep their planners with them at all times for use of hall passports (grades 6-8) and for the purpose of recording points earned throughout the day. In class, students will keep their planners available. Any positive or negative behaviors throughout each class will be tracked in the planner by the teacher.

A lost or severely damaged planner must be replaced immediately. **//A student who loses a planner will lose 3 points dropping to a Level 2 consequence until the planner is found or replaced.//** **(If a student drops to a Level 2 due to lost or damaged planner, that student can still lose points further due to behavior.) If a student returns to school the following day without the planner, he/she remains at a Level 2 and will serve another Level 2 consequence for that day.** Planners can be “purchased” at the school store with CATS PAW tickets earned by students.

Any positive or negative behaviors throughout each class will be tracked in the planner. If a student engages in negative behavior, the classroom teacher addresses the behavior with the student and cues the student to engage in the correct behavior. If the student corrects the behavior, no point is deducted. If a student corrects the behavior, then again engages in a negative behavior, the student then earns a point deduction in his/her student planner.

Students can continue to lose points in a single class or in multiple classes until they reach 0. At each teacher’s discretion, some excessively negative behaviors such as disrespect, insubordination/refusal to follow instructions, bullying may result in an automatic loss of points.

At the end of each day, students will sign out with their homeroom teachers and points for the day will be calculated. At that time, if a student has not maintained a specific level of performance for the day, a consequence will be assigned. Any Level Consequences earned by students will be served with the homeroom teacher.
 * __Level Consequences__**

The daily consequences for grades 4-5 are as follows: Subsequent Level 1 infractions will result in MIR w/ Parent Signature and __1- ½ hour detentions PLUS Parent Conference__ __w/ Homeroom Teacher &/or Team Teachers__
 * __ Grades 4-5 daily Consequences __**
 * 5 Verbal/Social Cue with Teacher Feedback
 * 4 One-on-One Teacher/Student Problem Solving
 * 3 Minor Incident Report (MIR) w/ Parent Signature
 * 2 MIR w/ Parent Signature __& NO Recess__
 * 1 MIR w/ Parent Signature __PLUS 1- ½ hour detention__ for first Level 1 infraction;
 * 0 Referral to Assistant Principal


 * // If a Level Consequence is not served or completed when assigned, the student must still serve that consequence in addition to dropping to the next Level Consequence. //** For example, a student earns a Level 3 consequence on Monday, but does not return the signed MIR/Social Skills assignment by Tuesday, the student drops to a Level 2 consequence. The student must still complete the original MIR/Social Skills assignment plus serve the Level 2 detention and complete the MIR/Social Skill Assignment for Level 2.

Daily levels are determined by the overall number of deductions a student has received throughout the day. If a student receives no point deductions in the planner throughout the day, that student maintains a Level 5.
 * __Calculating Daily Levels__**

If a student receives a 4 in two different classes throughout the day, that student is at a Level 3. This is because the student received 2 major behavior corrections throughout the day, so the student drops 2 levels. For further example, if a student receives a 4 in two different classes plus a 3 in a third class throughout the day, that student is at a Level 1. The student drops 4 levels because that student received 4 major behavior corrections throughout the day.

If a student drops to a Level 0 in a single class due to severely inappropriate behavior, the point deductions are marked in the planner by that classroom teacher as well as completing the Office Discipline Referral for the student in question.


 * __Parent Signatures in Planners__**

Students who do not get planners signed each day will automatically lose 1 point and move down to Level 4. Students will continue to move down to the next Level Consequence until the planner is signed or he/she reaches Level 1. At that time, parent contact will be made by the homeroom teacher.
 * __ Grades 4-5 daily signature __**
 * //__ Each day, the planners will be sent home for parent initials to verify they have reviewed materials in the planner __//**__ . __


 * On each day of the week, teachers will sign off for the day in each student’s planner to verify homework and materials are prepared and/or write any necessary notes. A student who has achieved a Daily Level of 4 or 5 for each day of the week plus parent initial for a minimum of 4 days of the week will receive a stamp in the student planner. **

At the end of each grading period, eligible students will participate in a group reward. To be eligible, students must have no more than 2 weeks in a grading period without a stamp and must have all pages tracking the weeks in question intact in their planners.
