Behavior Management Plan
“The Wildcat Way”
• Students will bring home a copy of our
Classroom Expectations and
rewards/consequences for following those
expectations.
• Students have a Behavior Tracking Chart
where they will receive stickers for school
attendance and following expectations.
• At the end of nine weeks students who
have filled their Behavior Tracking Chart
will attend the ROAR Celebration.
Outside Reading
• We expect your child to read at least 1015 minutes every evening (Mon.-Thurs.).
The only way to become a stronger reader
is to read. Books, magazines, newspaper,
etc… are acceptable and can only make
them better readers.
• Please document the time your child
spends reading each night in the agenda
along with your signature.
• Students can earn an extra sticker for
their Behavior Chart by getting parents to
log their time in the agenda or reading log.
Snack and Rewards
• Students may supply their own snack daily.
We ask that the snack be healthy.
• Students will have an opportunity to
purchase snacks for $0.50 from the school
snack cart.
• Students may bring bottled water.
• We need rewards for the students:
stickers, individually wrapped candy, small
toys, bookmarks, etc…
Visitors
• If you plan on visiting the classroom,
eating lunch with, or checking your
child out early you are required to
have a picture I.D. in the office.
Medication
• Medication MUST be signed in
through the front office by the
parent or guardian. The nurse will
give Tylenol or Advil for temps over
102. Benadryl will only be given in an
emergency. Tums, cough drops, and
meds for headaches will not be given
out to children this year.
Absence and
Money
• If your child is absent from school
please send a note for the office
stating the reason for their absence.
