Teaching Proper Behaviors

- Co-create behavior charts with students
- Model expected behavior
- Model inappropriate behavior
- Have students practice proper behavior
- Reward students for proper behavior
School-Wide Reward Program: Very Impressive Person Ticket (V.I.P.)
The V.I.P ticket is our school wide reward program. It is a system for keeping track of and rewarding students who behave respectfully and responsibly. All staff members (especially those that supervise playground/lunch areas), may hand out V.I.P. tickets to those students behaving in a commendable manner. Staff members will mark the appropriate box for the behavior demonstrated. Students who receive a ticket are to place it in the container that is located in the school office.
- Students may receive a ticket for the following reasons:
- Being helpful, responsible, or respectful
- Being an awesome friend
- Using kind words
- Standing up for yourself or others
Winners will be announced during School Spirit Day (held on the first Thursday of each month). A predetermined number of tickets will be drawn and the winners will receive recognition and a reward.
School-Wide Positive Consequences
Positive behavior is frequently rewarded and acknowledged. The staff makes every attempt to find positive behaviors in each student. We encourage those behaviors through inpidual attention and recognition. Deserving students receive from their teachers and support staff members, verbal praise, awards, special day activities, positive phone calls, and letters/notes to parents.
