3. Guidance/Discipline Plan
If the rules and procedures for the classroom are not followed,
students may receive natural consequences (follows
naturally from an event), logical consequences (structured
learning experience related to the event or misbehavior), a one
or two-stage time out, recess academy, or a parent problem-
solving conference. Students will receive clear messages
about what is expected. When a consequence is given it will
be: immediate, consistent, logical, proportional, respectful
and followed by a clean slate.
