Daily Behavior Levels
Each day your child will begin on (or sometimes above) level Green. If they complete all of their work and don't have any problems all day, they will probably stay on Green. This means they had a good day. In some cases, students will go above and beyond the daily expectations and they will be moved up to a higher level. If a student does not complete homework, classwork or is dispruptive in class, they will be moved down. The levels are listed below from highest to lowest. Again, students will start each day on at least level Green.

Purple - King or Queen of the Class
Through different acts of kindness or consistent good behavior, a student can earn their way up to this level. If a student is on this level, it means they have turned in their work and followed the rules for several days. If your child reaches purple, they are the highest level in the classroom. You could say they are King or Queen of Class.
Blue - Reaching for the Sky
This level is also above average. By completing work and following rules (with a dash of kindness and caring), students can reach this level. This level shows that good behavior has been shown over a long period of time. If your child is on level Blue, they are among the top 10 students in good behavior.
Green - A good day
Every student begins on this level (or above). Even if yesterday was a terrible day, today is new and deserves a fresh start. Students on this level have turned in their work and followed the rules. Although the levels of Purple and Blue are higher, there is nothing wrong with a Green day.
Yellow - First Warning
Every student will receive a verbal warning before they get here. To reach level Yellow, a student will have been warned once verbally, then asked to move to level Yellow. For example, if a student is asked to stop talking, but then continues to talk, they will be moved here. If a student comes to school without their homework, they will also be moved down. There will not be a verbal warning for homework because it is already an expectation.
Orange - Second Warning (Parent Communication Required)
If a student reaches this level, they have been given a verbal warning and they have been asked to move to level Yellow. Reaching level Orange means the student continued being disruptive, even after the other warnings. Students in my classroom will be asked to write a letter to their parent explaining why they reached this level and should explain how they plan to avoid making this mistake in the future. Please sign the letter and return it with your child the next day. Students who do not return the Parent Letter with a signature will remain on this level until it is established that the parent is aware of the infraction.
Red - Removal from class or office referral
If a student's behavior is found to be so disruptive that the class cannot function properly, the student will be removed from the room. Depending on the level of disruptiveness, a student could be sent to a buddy classroom to gather themselves or they could be sent to the office. Extreme situations (such as fighting or vandalism, etc) will require the student to be sent directly to the office. In those cases, all other levels may be skipped. Hopefully we never see this level on the behaviour cards.
