Procedures 

Students who respect others and the property of others, who follow school and classroom expectations, who have necessary materials and supplies, and who put forth their best effort will not receive a letter.   Students who choose not to follow these basic guidelines will receive a letter spelling the acronym “TIGER” for their inappropriate behavior or failure to bring needed materials to class.

 Students can have 5 rule infractions (penalties) before spelling the word, TIGER. However, student will receive 5 infractions for each class! Each teachers will monitor student’s infractions and keep a cumulative total for the week. TIGER will start over every two weeks.  

The teacher giving infractions is responsible for writing TIGER office referrals.

 The first TIGER will result in a student/teacher conference and the parent will be contacted. The second and subsequent TIGERs each time will result in an office referral. The teacher will warn the student when he/she has three or more penalties/letters and if the student earns TIGER, an office referral will be done, the student will receive one day of ISS and the parent will be contacted by the teacher. Should the student receive TIGER before Friday, the student will also have silent lunch for the remainder of the week.

Elective / PE Teachers will use the PAUSE pass and the student will be referred to ISS for the remainder of that period. Excessive issues will be turned over to administration.

POSITIVE BEHAVIOR INCENTIVES:

Students who do not receive any letters or one letter for 2 consecutive weeks will be rewarded every 2 weeks on TIGER Fun Friday.

Students who receive no TIGERs and have no OSS or BUS Suspensions for the nine weeks will be rewarded with a school side event at the end of each nine weeks.

No letters will be given for missing homework or any academic situations.

 Students who have serious infractions will automatically be referred to the office. Examples: pushing, shoving, hitting, kicking, slapping, cussing, spitting, taking other’s property, disrespect to teacher, bullying, fighting, etc.
