Rewards & Discipline

  • Rewards: Students will receive CUBS coins for positive behavior. Students who show exceptional behavior, or go above and beyond classroom expectations will be rewarded by receiving Jaguar Paw coupons to turn into the office for weekly rewards. All students who follow classroom procedures will receive verbal praise and recognition.
  • Discipline: If students are given too many warnings to follow our CUBS expectations, they will be asked to reflect and write about it. It may be accompanied by a minor referral with a loss of privilege. Please sign the reflection sheet and return it to me.
    • If a student’s behavior is more serious, it will lead to a major referral.
    • Mr. Schmitz will handle consequences for major referrals.
