Kennedy Discipline Plan

Kennedy Elementary Discipline Plan
 
Kennedy Elementary School has high standards for behavior and academic achievement. Teachers help students follow clear standards of behavior through a school wide positive discipline plan. This plan is designed to create a positive, safe and orderly learning environment by encouraging all students to behave in such a manner that they will be a credit to themselves, their parents, and Kennedy Elementary School. The staff has been trained in PBIS (Positive Behavioral Intervention & Supports) a system that promotes the use of positives in order to influence behavior.
 
General School Rules:
 
All students are expected to comply with the following behavioral guidelines:
 
Students know the rules as: Crusader Expectations
  • Be Respectful
  • Be Responsible
  • Be Safe 
  • Make Good Choices 
The PBIS Matrix is used to teach for all areas of the school including the classrooms, library, computer lab, hallways, playground, multi-purpose room. Students are taught these expectations for the first week of school at welcome back assemblies.
 
Consequences for Not Following School Rules:
Students receive Think Slips for minor discipline referrals and major Office Discipline Referrals for offenses that are more serious in nature, as well as when they receive 3 or more Think Slips for the same offense.
