The document introduces a set of classroom rules called the "Starry Rules" that students will follow to ensure a safe and productive learning environment. It lists 10 rules regarding behavior, respect, and following directions. Students can earn "PRIDE tickets" for following the rules, which can be redeemed for small rewards. Any student who does not comply with the rules will receive a "think sheet" to explain their actions and make a plan to improve.
