CONSEQUENCES FOR INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIORS

Logical Consequences:

On most every situation, the most appropriate consequences for inappropriate behavior is one that directly relates to the behavior.  For example, if a student throws food on the floor the student will be responsible for cleaning it up.  If a student does not follow playground rules, then a recess privilege could be taken.  We utilize logical consequences whenever possible and we hope you will respect our judgment in determining logical consequences.
