5. Behavior Plan A verbal warning will be given first. If a child needs a reminder, they will move their clip to the rule on which they need to improve. They will sit out for 5 minutes. They will also fill out a behavior slip which will be in their agenda and must be signed and returned the next day. If there is a need for a second clip move, the child will miss half of the activity and get a behavior slip. Extreme situations are rare, but will be handled as the situation dictates.
