Discipline

OVERALL RATING (5.0)

Parents at this school, on average, believe that conflicts between children:
...are handled extraordinarily well in a way that not only gives me confidence in the safety of my child but also reassures me that my child (and his/her peers) are learning the early skills needed to socialize effectively with one another

DISCIPLINE PLAN

If a student breaks a classroom rule, we want them to understand why we have rules, and to be held accountable for their actions. This is a skill that they will use for the rest of their lives.

1. The first time your child breaks any classroom rule, or playground rule a verbal prompt and a discussion with the child, and modeling of the correct/safe behavior will take place.

2. The second time your child breaks the same rule, a verbal prompt and a discussion with the child, and modeling of the correct/safe behavior will take place. The child will be removed from the area for refocus/safety reason if needed.

3. The third time your child breaks the same rule, a verbal prompt and a discussion with the child, and modeling of the correct/safe behavior will take place. The child will be removed from the area for refocus/safety reason if needed, and an Expectations Form will be completed.

Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
