4R’s - Respect, Responsibility, be Ready, Re-think (PBIS Matrix)

1) Our students are taught to follow the 4R’s in every area of the school at all times. Every student has brought home a brochure that explains what the 4 R’s look like in each area of the school.

Students who do not follow the school’s 4R’s may receive the following opportunities to practice more appropriate behavior:
1. redirection by the teacher
2. classroom time-out
3. support room time-out
4. office time-out

The support room is a quiet room, supervised by an assistant where children complete a problem solving sheet. The problem solving sheet helps students by having them identify the problem, what choices they had, and what choice they will make the next time to solve the problem in a positive way. The assistant is available to talk with the student and help them complete the sheet. We ask that parents review the sheet with their child and help him/her understand that he/she can make good choices! Continued visits to the support room will result in an office referral. Parent conferences will be scheduled at the school’s or parent’s request to develop a plan for students who frequently do not follow our 4R’s.

Serious Offenses - Students will be referred to the office immediately for fighting, stealing, insubordination and other offenses that are deemed serious and jeopardize the safety of students or cause a disruption to the classroom. Students referred to the office may receive time-out, an in-school suspension or a suspension out-of-school. In all cases the situation will be investigated and parents will be notified by telephone or in writing. We will work together to solve problems and support students in achieving self-discipline. Please contact the school anytime you have a question regarding discipline.
