The 1 st, 2 nd, and 3 rd tardy of each class are there for those times when things happen like running late, locker problems, visited with a friend too long, etc. These tardies are free. On the 3 rd tardy I will notify parents. However, starting with the 4 th and 5 th tardy a referral to the administration for consequences. If a student is the cause of a class disruption and has a consequence assess. First they will lose 25 to 75 points from their participation grade and I will contact parents.

Physical Education Class Expectations 2016-2017 Dear Parent/Guardian: In order to guarantee your child and all the students in my health classroom, the learning environment they deserve, I am utilizing the following discipline plan in my classroom. I believe all students can behave appropriately in my classroom. I will not tolerate any student who interferes with my teaching or who keeps other students from learning. Guidelines for successful Student Behavior 1. You may engage in any behavior that does not create a problem for you or anyone else in the world. 2. If you find yourself with a problem, you may solve it by any means that does not cause a problem for anyone else in the world. 3. You may engage in any behavior that does not jeopardize the safety or learning of yourself or others. To ensure that the above Guidelines for Success are followed, I will operate with the following principles as my guide: 1. I will react without anger or haste to problem situations. I will provide consequences that are not punitive but that allow the student to experience the results of a poor choice, enabling him or her to make better choices in the future. 2. I will proceed in all situations with the best interest of the student. The student s academic, social and emotional well-being will be fostered. 3. I will guide students toward personal responsibility and the decision-making skills which they will need to function in the real world. 4. I will arrange consequences for problem situations in such a way that the student will not be humiliated or demeaned. 5. Equal is not always fair. Consequences will be designed to fit the problems of individual students and they may be different even when problems appear to be the same. 6. I will make every effort to ensure that the students involved will understand why they are involved in consequences. 7. If I at any time act or react in a way that a student truly feels in unjust the student needs to say to me, I m not sure that s fair. I will arrange a private conference during which the student can express to me why he or she feels my actions were not fair. This may or may not change my course of action. 8. I am always open to calm, rational discussion of any manner.
