Notes which came home today

Some of the notes for today fell out of folders and ended up on the floor.

Here are two notes which came home today:

Dear Parents,

Here at Haigh, we use the Positive Behavior Behavior Support System (PBIS) as our school wide behavior plan.  We are excited about this system and how it will provide our students with a consistent, fair, and positive behavior plan.  We have been practicing our classroom rules and routines and are ready to start using our communication logs. Every morning your child’s card will start on an owl.  When the rules are not followed, they will have to flip their card to yellow, and so on if the behavior continues. Special area teachers will be using the PBIS plan in their classrooms.

Here are the Positive Behavior colors and their consequences:

OWL:  Doing their absolute best (box will be left blank)

YELLOW: Five minute time out in the room or at recess and a note

BLUE:  Ten minute time out in the room or at recess and a note

RED:  See the principal

Thank you for your cooperation!

The other note is below:

Dear Parents –

Please help our snack time go more smoothly by putting your child’s snack in their backpack separate from their lunch. When the children have their snack packed inside their lunch box with the rest of the food, they think they can eat their lunch for snack time. Please send a healthy snack each day such as fruit, vegetables, cheese, or crackers. Also, we do not allow juice in our classroom because it is messy and we get several bugs in our room due to our proximity to the playground.

Thank you for your help!
