10. Attendance & Tardies  If your child is absent, please submit an excuse/note online (Skyward) or to the office when they return.  Your child is considered tardy after 7:30am. Three tardy passes equal an absence.  Each marking period we will celebrate scholars’ perfect attendance.

13. Behavior Management To manage student’s behavior we have a clip and color coded system. The color system is as follows: blue = GREAT day! green = good day, yellow = warning, red = call/note home. Student’s daily color will be noted by the teacher and may be recorded in their planner. This will determine the student’s citizenship mark, each Marking Period, on their report card. Reflection sheets (next slide) may be used to give scholars a moment to reconsider.  Excellent (E = no red or yellow days)  Satisfactory (S = no red days)  Needs Improvement (N = one or more than 1 red day)  Unsatisfactory (U = consecutive red days)
