7. Discipline Policy & Procedures Your child’s education and success is very important to me. My goal is to help teach your child to make the right decisions and use good judgement in their actions. I will guide them to take responsibility for their own actions and behaviors. Being responsible and following directions is a large part of our daily routine. If a student breaks a rule, I will ask them what behavior they exhibited, what they were supposed to do, what plan they have to change their behavior, and what they will do differently next time. I believe these discussions about behavior aid each of my students to evaluate and solve their own behavior issues and become responsible citizens at Castleman Creek Elementary. Rules #1: Follow Directions: Quickly, Cheerfully, and Completely #2: Show Respect: with your Words, your Actions, and your Attitude #3: Have Grit, Don’t Quit #4: Make Smart Choices
