Intro to Behavior Plan

This year we will use a color clip chart to monitor our behavior and classroom choices.

Your child will have an individual chart with a clip on their desk that they will

physically move up or down on the chart depending on their choices. Please keep in mind that your child will not move their

clip every day. In order to move up students must go above and beyond in their behavior

choices.
