ISS

• As part of our efforts to make students safe,
  caring, honest responsible, and respectful, our
  goal is to improve schoolwide behavior and
  decrease the number/frequency of students
  assigned to ISS.
• ISS can only be assigned by the office.
• Students can be assigned to ISS for fighting,
  stealing, damaging property, classroom
  disruption, disrespect, threats or other severe
  behavior.

ISS

• Students cannot be assigned to ISS to complete
  homework. Teachers need to develop a buddy
  system to deal with minor disruptions and
  homework issues.
• Students need to be in their homerooms as much as
  possible to be able to participate in
  instruction.
• Students should perceive ISS as a negative place
  to be, instead of a quiet place to work.
• Students who have been assigned to ISS 3 times,
  will be referred to the Behavior Team.

ISS

• The ISS room will have a supply of student
  textbooks available for student use.
• ISS students will receive a packet to complete
  while in ISS. Students who have difficulty with
  reading will receive assistance in reading the
  packet. The packet must then be signed by the
  classroom teacher and parent.

Behavior Communication Form

• The purpose of this form is to track difficult
  behavior that is not severe enough to warrant
  ISS.
• This form will incorporate the five Hawk
  expectations (safe, caring, honest, responsible,
  respectful)
• Parent signature or documentation of phone call
  must be on the paper.
• If a student receives 3 of these forms the forms
  will be turned in to the principal. The
  principal will meet with the student.

7
Cafeteria

• Classes will have assigned tables.
• During the first week of school, teachers will
  take their class to the cafeteria to model
  appropriate behavior. Chant in unisonsafe,
  caring, honest responsible, respectful.
• Classes will be dismissed by table when tables
  and floor are clean.

8
Activity Card

• Students will be rewarded for positive behavior
  choices (guess what? Safe, caring, honest,
  responsible, respectful) in the classroom,
  cafeteria, on the playground and the bus. A
  special activity will be scheduled each month.
• To attend the activity each student will need a
  signed activity card.
• Students cannot attend the special monthly
  activity if they have been assigned to ISS for
  that month.

Fun Friday

• All grade levels will implement the Fun Friday
  activity for positive behavior.
