Positive Behavior Plan


 Positive Behavior Plan



School-Wide Expectations:
All students are directly taught our school wide expectations.

  • Be Responsibl
  • Be Respectfu
  • Be Safe

Marks Behavior Chart:  Students earn marks for not following expectations.
  •  Marks Chart Codes: Teachers use the following codes on the marks behavior chart.
    • Rt = Respect Marks
    • Rb= Responsibility Marks
    •  S =  Safety Marks
  • Consequences for Marks:
1st mark:      warning (subtle)
2nd mark:     1:1 conversation with teacher
3rd mark:     5 minutes out of center time
4th mark:     Time out with Mrs. Floit & 10 minutes out of center time
5th mark:     Out of center time
6th mark:     The student will be given an Office Discipline Referral (ODR). The consequence could be a recess detention the following day.  The white copy goes home with the student to be signed and returned.  The teacher keeps the yellow copy and sends the pink copy to the office

Kindergarten Positive Behavior Frogs:
The behavior frogs are aligned with the Irving School Positive Behavior Plan.  If a student receives a mark their frog leaves the lily pad and I move their frog into the corresponding box for each mark.  1 mark equals box one and so on.  This way the students have a visual for their behavior.  Students who stay on the lily pad all day/receive 0 marks will be acknowledged at the end of the day.  These students will receive some kind of special praise or treat. 



Zero Marks Certificates:
Students who earn zero marks for the entire week will receive a “zero marks certificate” and a prize from the office.  These students are recognized in the gym on the following Monday.

Mustang Money:
Students can earn mustang money for following our school-wide expectations to be responsible, respectful, and safe.  The students have the opportunity to spend their Mustang Money at the Mustang Mall on Fridays.

Caught Being Good Frogs:
In addition to the behavior frogs we have “Caught Being Good Frogs.”  I randomly “catch children being good” and give them a froggy slip to write their name on.  The froggy slip, then goes in the “Caught Being Good Tub”.  To reward those who have been “Caught Being Good”, I Pull 5 or more names every Monday for prizes.

Jewel Jar:
We also have a classroom jewel jar.  Our class can earn jewels if they earn zero marks in specials (music, pe, library, & art).  They can also earn jewels if our class receives a compliment from another teacher.  In addition, jewels can be earned if the class follows classroom expectation as a group.  For example, if everyone lines up quietly, they could earn jewels.  Once the jar is filled, then we have a celebration.

All treats/prizes should stay in your child’s backpack until they get home. J
