Shooting Star (silver)

• At the end of the day, if I see a student showing AWESOME behavior, they move to Super Star (gold)

Super Star

chance to fix your behavior.• 2nd warning (tally) Write in reflection

pad and record on chart, move clip. (walk 2 laps at recess)

Good news!!! You are the one who makes the choice! You can always

turn your day around!If I see that you have really tried to turn your day around, I’ll write your

parents a note explaining it. You can even move up or be Shooting Star if you really try hard to learn from your

mistakes.
