Other Intervention Information We do not remove students from intervention once they move from the Red or Yellow Zones into the Green Zone, though we may lessen the frequency of those interventions. When a Red/Yellow Zone Student moves into the Green Zone we continue to reinforce the positive behavior with “Good News Home” cards, Bo Bucks, positive phone calls home to parents as well as incentive rewards.
