Acknowledgment System The acknowledgement system is a feature of the Our School Rules! The behavioral expectation system focuses on acknowledging students who demonstrate East Rochester behavioral expectations. This program works in conjunction with school-wide and classroom goals. Specific verbal feedback When you observe students being, safe, responsible and/or respectful, acknowledge them by giving specific positive verbal feedback such as: o That was so helpful the way you held the door open for your classmates. o Thank you for walking with your hands and feet to yourself. Bee Bucks Acknowledge students who are exhibiting Our School Rules! behaviors by giving them specific positive feedback along with Bee Bucks. Students who earn a specific number of Bee Bucks will be acknowledged according to the incentives for the week/month. The PBiS committee will communicate rewards and incentives to faculty/staff on a monthly basis. Students who earn the requisite number of Bee Bucks for a particular week/month will be recognized in Forum on Fridays and receive the incentive for the week/month. Page 4 of 25

East Rochester Elementary School Student Behavior Management Process Description of Levels and Suggested Interventions The following suggested interventions may be utilized in correcting a student s inappropriate behavior. The following list is by no means all-inclusive. Interventions will vary depending on the many variables that impact students. Interventions listed are not hierarchical.

Administrator assigns consequence and contacts parents Page 6 of 25
Tier 1 Behaviors Tier 1 behaviors are minor rule violations that will result in immediate verbal or non-verbal corrections with possible consequences. Students who engage in Tier 1 behaviors will be asked: (1) to identify inappropriate behavior and (2) describe the appropriate replacement behavior.

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT TIER 2 INCIDENT REPORTS 1. What happens to the TIER 2 INCIDENT REPORT that is sent to the office? It is given to Terrie Koch, who keeps them on file. 2. What does the administrator do with the TIER 2 INCIDENT REPORTs? The administrator reads the TIER 2 INCIDENT REPORT and notes student s inappropriate behavior. 3. Do the three (3) TIER 2 INCIDENT REPORTs refer to three by the same or different teachers? They refer to three from the same teacher. 4. What is the purpose of the TIER 2 INCIDENT REPORT? The paperwork allows us to gather data. Having data allows us to organize in a way that can assist students, teachers, Counselor and administrators with decision-making. The TIER 2 INCIDENT REPORT reminds us to have dialog with the student and the parent about what is appropriate behavior, expected improvement, and consequences for the action. PBS helps us to remember that we all are responsible for teaching social skills and civility to our students within the context of our curriculum. Positive learning interactions are the focus. 5. When do I use do an office referral in School Tool? After the student has received three (3) TIER 2 INCIDENT REPORTs for inappropriate behavior from the same teacher. The student has engaged in a Tier 3 behavior. Page 11 of 25

September 2011 PBiS Plan When faculty/staff members are giving Bee Bucks, it is important to explain to students why they are being given Bee Bucks. Students need to understand what positive behavior you are acknowledging. A Bee Buck document of the monthly bee bucks will be available for Faculty/staff. Faculty/staff will be responsible for copying the amount needed. It is encouraged for members to print the bucks in color in the school media center. Faculty/staff are expected to acknowledge students who are being safe, responsible and respectful. For example: students walking to and from the bathroom without a teacher present who are being safe are worthy of Bee Bucks. Faculty/staff may award Bee Bucks to any student in the school. The idea is to catch students being safe, responsible and respectful. It is also an expectation for teachers to use the lessons provided in this handbook or other lessons to teach all aspects of the Behavioral Matrix. The PbiS committee will provide a monthly focus to be taught on the Monthly incentive chart. The teacher can teach to this and other parts of the matrix. It is understood that the older and more experienced students should need less instruction and more review of the matrix. Cafeteria ** Lunch Seat Position ** Keep hands and feet to yourself Bathroom Enter and exit carefully Keep hands and feet to yourself Keep floors dry Hallway Walk facing forward Keep hands and feet to yourself Raise hand and ask permission to leave your seat Clean up after yourself Flush Wash and dry your hands Go directly back to class Stay to the right Eyes forward Good Manners Quiet voices Use kind words Wait your turn Quiet voices Take only the time you need No voices Keep moving On Thursday afternoon by 2:45 p.m. of each week, teachers are responsible for recording which students have received the required number of bee bucks and what have earned. Teachers will send the list to the grade level representative for that month. PBS representatives by grade level will change bimonthly but core members of the committee are below: Lori Chans, Scott Harris, Pam Larsen, Dr. Harold Leve, Ed Mandara, David Thering, Laurie Worthington Page 13 of 25
Each Friday morning, students in grades 1-6 who earned incentives will be recognized in Forum. Teachers may pick up incentives from the main office every Thursday afternoon or Friday morning. Again, teachers are responsible for picking up their own incentives for their students from the main office. Kindergarten students will be recognized in a separate forum assembly every Friday afternoon after kindergarten lunch (1:35). Page 14 of 25
Review School-wide Rules: Lesson 1: Teaching School-wide Expectations for: Hallways and Sidewalks The teacher will ask the students to identify the three school rules. (Be Safe, Be Responsible, Be Respectful). He/she will then explain that they are going to talk about how we can follow these rules while walking in the hallways and while they are on the sidewalks outside. Skill Teaching for the Hallway (take students to the hallway for this discussion) What are some ways you think that we should Be safe, Be responsible, and Be respectful in the hallway? Let students give a few examples, then review the indicators below. Explain that at ER we expect that students will demonstrate the school rules in the hallways in the following ways: Be Safe o Walk facing forward o Keep hands and feet to yourself Be Responsible o Stay to the right o Eyes forward Be Respectful o No voices o Keep moving Demonstration and Role Play of Hallway Rules Role-play both examples and non-examples. Make sure that adults role play nonexamples and then ask the students what they could have done differently. Divide students into groups and have them role-play the examples. Have the class give feedback to the role-playing group and redo as necessary. Have the class practice the indicators as move outside to the sidewalk. Page 15 of 25
Examples: 1. Student weaving in the hallway and turned around, not facing the front (non-example). 2. Student yelling as they skip through the hallway (non-example). 3. Students swinging their arms, touching each other as they walk NOT keeping their hands and feet to themselves. (non-example). 4. Students walking in a straight line, using appropriate personal space, keeping to the right, and keeping their hands and feet to themselves. (example). 5. Student not talking or whispering in the hallway (example). Skill Teaching for the Sidewalk Be Safe o Walk facing forward o Keep hands, feet and objects to yourself Be Responsible o Stay on the sidewalk o Eyes forward o Look left, look right, look left again before crossing streets Be Respectful o Be helpful o Cooperate Demonstration and Role Play of Sidewalk Rules Examples: Role-play both examples and non-examples. Make sure that adults role play nonexamples and then ask the students what they could have done differently. Divide students into small groups and have them role-play the examples. Have the class give feedback to the role-playing group and redo as necessary. Have the class practice as you move back to your classroom. 1. Student running across the grass (non-example). 2. Student walking close to the parking lot/road, turned around talking to the person behind them (non-example). 3. Students walking in a straight line, using appropriate personal space, keeping their hands and feet to themselves (example). 4. Student picking up a piece of trash and throwing it away (example). 5. Look left, look right, look left again before crossing the street (example). Page 16 of 25
Review and Check for Understanding Be sure to explain that we need to be safe, be responsible, and be respectful whether we are with our teachers or by ourselves. Identify some times when students maybe be by themselves they will need to follow the same rules (i.e. going to the bathroom, another classroom, the nurse, office, library, etc.). Also, these rules apply if it is hot, cold, rainy, or perfect outside. Review the rules using the charts and allow for any unanswered questions. Remind the students that you and others will be watching them to see how well they do at being safe, responsible, and respectful. Page 17 of 25
Lesson 2: Teaching School-wide Expectations for: Cafeteria Skill Teaching We have been talking about our new school-wide rules this week. Does anyone remember the 3 school-wide rules? a. Be Safe b. Be Responsible c. Be Respectful Today we are going to talk about how our school-wide rules apply to the cafeteria. So, how can we be safe, responsible, and be respectful in the cafeteria? Let students give a few examples, then review the indicators below. Be Safe Lunch seat position (sitting, legs under table, feet down and still) Keep hands, feet and objects to yourself Be Responsible Ask permission to leave your seat Clean up after yourself Be Respectful Use quiet indoor voices Use good manners Use kind words Now lets talk about what it should sound like. Now let s talk about what it looks like in the cafeteria. Page 18 of 25
Demonstration and Role Play Model an appropriate example of cafeteria behavior: 1. Walk through the cafeteria line, get your lunch tray and your utensils, sit down at the table and eat your food, talk quietly to a person next to you, raise your hand and ask permission to throw away your garbage, return your tray and return to your seat. 2. Ask the students to name all of the rules you followed (they should say all of them). Provide any rules they did not say. Show non-examples and have the students say what should have been done differently. (Adults role play this part) 1. An adult should take some food from the tray of a student sitting next to him/her. Have the students say which rule was broken and what should have been done differently. 2. An adult should take up his/her tray and leave a mess on the table. Have the students say which rule was broken and what should have been done differently. 3. An adult should play fight with a student standing behind him/her in line. Have the students say which rule was broken and what should have been done differently. Have the students practice following the rules. 1. Ask 4-5 students to go through the line and get their lunch tray. Have the students watching comment on how they did when they are done. 2. Ask 3-4 students to sit and eat their food. Have the students watching comment on how they did when they are done. 3. Ask 2-3 students to clean up their trays. Have the students watching comment on how they did when they are done. Review and Check for Understanding Review the rules one last time. Have the students state the rules for being safe, being responsible, and being respectful. Remind the children that you and all of the other adults in the building will be watching to see when students follow the rules. Remind them of the acknowledgements available to students who follow the rules. Page 19 of 25

Be Safe! Be Responsible! Be Respectful! Objective 2 Learning East Rochester Rules Have a poster with the East Rochester Rules on it. Have the students read the three rules together. Have the students individually read the rules. Encourage the students to remember the rules and recite them without looking at the poster. Objective 3 Focusing on rules within the classroom Have students read each of the specific rules corresponding to being respectful, responsible, and respectful within the classroom setting. Let them reference the matrix of expected behaviors for the classroom setting. Discuss why each rule is important (e.g., why should we use kind words?) Discuss what could happen if students did not follow the specific rule. Continue for each rule within the classroom setting. Objective 4-Focusing on rules in other non-classroom areas Have students read each of the specific rules corresponding to being respectful, responsible, and ready within specific non-classroom areas (e.g., hallways, cafeteria, bathrooms, etc.). Let them reference the matrix of expected behaviors for the non-classroom settings. Discuss why each rule is important (e.g., why should we walk in the hallways?) Discuss what could happen if students did not follow the specific rule. Continue for each rule within the specific non-classroom settings. Objective 5 Practice being safe, responsible and respectful using an Index Card Game (Classroom Setting) Give each student three index cards. One card has the word Safe written on it in red. One card has the word Responsible written on it in green. One card has the word Respectful written on it in yellow. Put a poster on the board with the words in a list: Safe (written in red) Responsible (written in green) Respectful (written in yellow) Page 21 of 25

(Respectful) Follow directions (Responsible) Keep hands and feet to self (Safe) Be ready to learn (Responsible) After you state the rule, have the students hold up the card corresponding to the correct category. After the students understand the game, let each student have a turn to recite a rule and the other students guess the category. Discuss the rules and the categories as the game is played. There is likely to be some debate as to whether something is safe, respectful, or responsible Objective 6 Practice Safe, Respectful, and Responsible using an Index Card Game (Non-Classroom Settings) Give each student three index cards. Go to a non-classroom setting (cafeteria, hallway, bathroom, etc) One card has the word Safe written on it in red. One card has the word Responsible written on it in green. One card has the word Respectful written on it in yellow. Put a poster on the board with the words in a list: Safe (written in red) Responsible (written in green) Respectful (written in yellow) Play a guessing game.
