Quibbletown Middle School

Point System

This Point System was deveoped to aid in monitoring student behavior. The District Code of Conduct supports the expected behaviors of the Handbook and provides a clear hierarchy of consequences. The District Code of Conduct is available for parent and staff review. The student Handbook has a spot for parents to sign indicating that they have reviewed it with their child.

Here is a summary of the details of the Point System:

• Any student who receives 5 points in a marking period is excluded from any quarterly events or reward day activities. Teachers will promote the special events, which may include: a dance, teacher/student contest, movie day, or any other positive reward activity. A grade level teacher will monitor excluded students during the activity to reinforce or catch up on missed work.

• Points are assigned through the Assistant Principals Office and recorded in Genesis by the secretary /clerk.

• Points will be assigned once the proper teacher interventions have been exhausted.

•  Student Point Reports will be provided to each team for monitoring their students.

• Discussion of the behavior and a corrective plan should be developed by the teacher and parent. Check with the CST for Special Education students, who may already have a Behavior Intervention Plan in place
• Classroom management plans must be communicated to all student and parents and must be consistent school wide.
• The Point System will be communicated to parents and students in September and posted on school website as a continuous reminder.  Behavior Referrals must accompany any student sent to the office.Office Time Out is limited to the time needed to process the student
• Students will return to class once processed unless their behavior is unsafe or creates a major disruption to the class.
• Referrals will be returned if no teacher intervention was noted

• Intervention includes teacher action and parent contact (Leaving a message with the parent does not constitute intervention).
