Consequence System

GMS - STUDENT CONSEQUENCE GRID We developed the student consequence grid as a tool to develop consistency in student discipline in our school  Students are given this sheet at the start of school so they know what behaviors will earn them a mark  Positive activities are rewarded while negative activities earn students a mark on their grid  Every 9 weeks the number of marks starts at zero so students have an opportunity to correct behaviors that they were marked for in the previous 9 weeks  Students can earn marks straight across the grid or if they reach 7 total marks in any area before they get to parent contact/behavior packet their teacher will call their parent and assign the behavior packet  10 total marks results in a discipline referral  Team revises consequence grid yearly based on staff input and data analysis
