Rules

Think about it: Why do we need rules in the classroom?

What happens when you make a poor choice?

• Consequences follow!

• First time – warning

• Second time – seat away, you call parent

• Third time – seat away in another classroom, you call parent

• Fourth time – Office referral

Coming to Attention

and off.
