Support
All expectations are defined and supported with pictures and common language that aligns to
our three simple rules:

1. Be kind.

2. Work hard.

3. Stay safe.

For example, our hallway expectations are: (see attached matrix for all common areas)

Be kind. Work hard. Stay safe.

Keep hands and feet to self. Be quick and quiet Keep eyes forward.
Use kind words. (whisper). Walk.
Stay in place in line. Follow directions.
Give a wink, wave, or smile.

Students receive regular,explicit instruction on behavior expectations in all areas of school. The
following is a recommended template for teaching expectations:
1. Identify the expectation/expected behavior.
2. Provide a rationale for teaching the expectation.
3. Define a range of examples(examples and non-examples (non-examples should be
modeled by an adult)
4. Role play and/or describe activities for the expectation.
5. List methods to prompt or remind the expectation.
6. Describe what student success looks like/sounds like, etc.

Structure
All adults are expected to model school-wide expectations. School-wide system for students:

Updated June 2023

Playground Expectations:
● Staff should be spread out across different zones of the playground, making sure that all
areas and children are within sight lines.
● Teachers should interact with children, helping them to interact with other students, play,
and prevent conflicts.
● When on the natural playground, keep students from climbing rocks.

Playground Rules:
● Mulch on ground
● Slides go down only
● Use equipment (balls, trucks, etc.) appropriately
● Swings go straight

Updated June 2023

Cafeteria Expectations (Lunch):
Before going to the cafeteria, students should be lined up by their lunch choice (all PBJs
together, yogurts together, etc.).

Entering:
● With teacher supervision, each class will enter quietly through the left side of the
cafeteria entrance (lines on the floor are marked with arrows to show direction).
● Follow the lines on the floor to choose milk and juice and continue on to the serving line,
making food choices. (Students will not return to the serving line after being seated.)
● Enter lunch number.
● Walk to assigned tables.

Students are to eat while having quiet conversations with friends at their own table. Students
are not permitted to get up from their seats during lunch. If students need assistance he/she
must raise their hand for help. **Teacher is excused when students have been seated.

At the end of lunch period, students will:

● place any trash or food onto their tray and listen for directions. Pick up trash from the
floor. Monitor may ask that students push the trays toward one end of the table so that
trays can be dumped into trash cans.
● wait quietly for lining up directions. Students are to walk when directed to line up.

Exiting:
Students will line up quietly on the left side of the cafeteria entrance (lines on the floor are
marked with arrows to show direction) and return to their classroom.

Note: If a parent comes to eat with their student, they will eat at one of the small tables (or small
rooms) near the entrance. Only the student will be allowed to eat with their parent (no extra
classmates)

Updated June 2023

Reteach Time Procedures:

● Cannot require parents to allow students to attend reteach time.

● Focus with parents on “reteach” and working together to improve behavior.
● Should be scheduled very close to the incident if possible. If there’s a long delay, it might
not be effective and other strategies should be used instead.
● Be mindful of undue burdens on family members.
● Three red slips in the same nine week grading period.
● Sometimes a major incident may lead to a reteach time.
● Teachers cover reteach time on a rotation schedule. If a teacher schedules reteach time
on a day that they are covering reteach time, they should swap dates with another
teacher.
● If you get a reteach time scheduled, copy the note and give to the counselor including
attached copies of the red slips. This is very important so that the teacher can
accurately reteach the behavior.
● Teachers covering Reteach Time need to check with the counselor to see if there are
students staying. If there are, the teacher will pick up the binder and document the
reteach time.
● The teacher will discuss what alternative choices could have been made, read a social
story to support replacement behavior, and/or have the student write an apology.. If
possible, practice by modeling a situation. If there is any time afterward, there is some
work in the binder the child can complete until 3:30, focusing on the fact that the student
missed instructional time so this is a way to make that better.
