Behavior Management

Our basic rules are as follows: we use loving touches, kind words, listening ears, quiet voices, and walking feet. We will go over these rules daily. The rewards for positive behavior will be praise, stickers, and small treats. The consequences for negative behavior will be discussion with the teacher, review of the rule broken, and, if needed, a time-out.

Good behavior will be noted each day in the child’s folder unless he/she has some problem following a rule that day, of which you will be notified. Together, we want to help your child grow and develop positively in every way. The following are expectations for students:

• Guns, knives, or weapons of any kind are prohibited on school property and must not be brought on to the school grounds or to any school event. MPCS reserves the right to search the personal possessions of students suspected of violating this rule. This includes toy or look-a-like guns or weapons.

• Students whose conduct is continuously disrespectful may be suspended, and ultimately expelled, if behavior does not improve.

• Students should not leave class without permission.

• When the class pledges the American and Christian flags, students are expected to participate.
