Classroom Management
The goal of discipline is always heart change so we become more like Christ in the way we think, act, and speak. At times, we all need reminders, correction, and training in order to accomplish this. To help us in training our hearts and minds and in order to create an environment conducive to learning for all students, we will follow these procedures throughout each Middle School class.
Expectations:
Respect your teacher, classmates, and space.
Have a positive attitude and participate.
Come prepared with your materials.
Follow the procedures as your teacher instructs.
Work quietly.
Classroom Rules:
Your voice should be a whisper when entering the classroom.
When the teacher’s voice is on, yours is off.
Raise your hand if you have a question or comment.
Respond to the teacher’s attention getting phrase appropriately (such as: To infinity….and beyond).
Push in your chair and clean up your work space when leaving.
Open your Chromebook only when directed to do so.
Rewards for positive behavior may include:
Verbal affirmation.
Lunch with your teacher, vice principal or principal.
Pizza with the principal.
Classroom treat or game time.
When an expectation of behavior is not met:
Phase 1 will result in a warning.
Phase 2 the teacher will redirect the student.
Phase 3 a demerit will be issued on RenWeb.
Since being on time is critical to learning and an important part of respect for others, five tardies will result in a demerit on RenWeb.
After three (3) demerits students will receive 1 lunch detention, as well as lunch detentions for the fourth and fifth demerits. On sixth demerit students will receive an after school detention, as well as after school detentions for seventh and eighth demerits. Upon student receiving the sixth and eighth demerit, a parent meeting with Administration is required. On the ninth demerit students will receive after school detention or a suspension. After ten (10) demerits students will receive a suspension or possible expulsion and will be placed on probation or denied registration for the following year. A parent meeting with Administration is required at the tenth demerit.
