It may seem tough at first, but the growth that you will see them make is tremendous! Behavior Systems This year we are trying a new behavior system. Students will be keep track of their behavior with “money.” They will receive deposits for positive behavior, and will have withdrawals for negative behavior. They will keep track of their own transaction logs. At the end of every trimester, we will hold a “store,” where students can bring in items that they don’t want or made. Using their cash, they can buy each others’ items. If students fail to follow expectations, I will first issue a warning. After the second time, I will make the student go to the Refocus Desk in the back of the room. If the behavior continues, I will issue a minor referral. If the case is extreme, I will automatically write a major referral. I will always contact you if I write a referral.
