Discipline Steps & Flow Chart

New Referral for Major Discipline After you have exhausted the Flow Chart and have followed all the steps. Send student with a referral. Make sure you have made parent contact.

Restorative Justice Restorative justice strategies may be utilized to provide opportunities for students to be accountable to those they have harmed, and enable them to repair the harm they caused to the extent possible.

Positive Student Recognition Echoing Expectations At the conclusion of every instructional period, each teacher is to “echo” our environmental expectations by recognizing a student who exemplified one of those expectations. Students are to receive a ticket. PRIDE Tickets All staff members will utilize PRIDE tickets to reinforce appropriate behavior. Staff members will look for “teachable moments” and give students PRIDE tickets when they exemplify one of those expectations that are on banners across campus. Buckets for tickets will be located on the stage for students to turn in their tickets. We will be raffling off miscellaneous low-cost items at various times. True Warrior of the Week Staff members are to look for students who stand out or demonstrate a True Warrior trait that is extraordinary. Staff members may submit their nominations at any time. True Warriors will be introduced during daily announcements and the nomination form will be read. Forms can be found in front of Mrs. Nino’s office by announcement folder.

Let’s use the tickets! PRIDE Tickets for Teachers & Staff Each Monday during Advisory, the teacher gives 3 students a red PRIDE ticket to award to staff Students then search throughout the week for staff who are reinforcing the PRIDE Area Expectations and award them a ticket Friday before class meetings, the 3 students report who they gave the ticket to and how it was earned Prizes for staff – extra jeans day, duty coverage, etc. - still working on this
