To help create a successful learning environment, we will be using an assertive discipline system. This system uses colors that will be easily understood by your child. Our discipline is similar to a traffic signal.

    Awesome!  (blue color) This may be earned by the child who has shown  exceptional behavior for the day.

    GO! (green color) You're doing great!

    Caution! (yellow color) You are breaking a rule.

    STOP!  (red color) You need to stop your behavior and make a better choice.

Each day your child will enter the classroom with a green color. If an established class rule  is broken by a child, he/she will be asked to change the green color to a yellow color. A yellow color should not be the "end of the world" to your child. We all sometimes have a bad day. The yellow color signals the student should monitor his/her behavior and reminds the student to follow the rules. This color change works effectively in modifying most behavior. Students who show improvement during the day may earn-back their previous color. Should a student continue breaking the classroom rules, his/her color will be changed to red. If a child receives a red color, a note will be sent home to be signed by parents. At this time, your help and support will be appreciated in discussing the matter with your child. Conduct grades will be updated weekly on the power school grading system.
    Students who work hard to maintain their green color will be rewarded periodically during the year. These rewards will vary and may be presented daily, weekly, or monthly (see Leopard's Club information in the Student Handbook for monthly rewards).
    In Kindergarten we want our discipline to be as positive as possible. We look forward to an enjoyable and succesful year with your child, both academically and behaviorally. If you have any questions, please feel free to talk to us at anytime. Thank you for all your support!!!
