SMITH ELEMENTARY DISCIPLINE MANAGEMENT PLAN In order to guarantee that your child and all students have the learning climate they deserve, we utilize a PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention Support) approach at Smith Elementary. We expect full parental and student support for these Guidelines for Success…The 3 B’s: Be Safe, Be Respectful, and Be Responsible. Our school policy is to establish meaningful expectations that focus on respect for other people, respect for property, and responsible behavior and safety for all. These rules will be strictly enforced at all times and positive reinforcement will be given to support students’ appropriate behavior. Teachers will keep in touch with you concerning your child’s behavior. Student Code of Conduct: The District’s Student Code of Conduct commits to ensuring that district campuses will be safe, secure and violence free places where all students can learn and achieve to their fullest potential. The Board Policy FO-Local outlines specific standards of conduct and sets parameters for students and adults to follow. For further information, please refer to the ’13-’14 CCISD Parent Handbook (available online at http://echalk.ccisd.us). Smith Elementary follows a 6-step plan to discipline management outlined by the colored flow chart below. This management system is in line with the District’s belief in “Developing Hearts and Minds,” in which teachers build relationships with students by “Capturing Kids’ Hearts.”
