This year King Springs will be implementing a positive behavior plan using the “House System”. Students will be in one of the five houses: Yangxing (positivity), Integridad (integrity), Mahalo (respect), Studium (enthusiasm), or Fidelis (dependable). The House System is vertical meaning that a fifth grader and a first grader can be in the same house. Students can earn points for their house for academics, behavior, athletics, attendance, manners, etc. The points will be tallied and the winning house will be rewarded monthly and quarterly. For more information about the House System, please refer to the KSE website.
In addition to the House System, there will also be a school-wide disciplinary system that will document inappropriate behaviors. The inappropriate behavior will be documented on a behavior slip that is aligned directly to the standards-based report card. The behavior slips will be used not only in the classroom, but also in specials, the cafeteria, and other places throughout the building. The amount of behavior slips will determine your child’s conduct grades on the quarterly report card.
The guidelines are as follows:
5 or less behavior slips= S
6-9 behavior slips and/or 1 office referral =P (K-3)/ NI (4-5),
10 or more and/or 2 or more office referrals= N (K-3)/ U (4-5).
Specialists guidelines are as follows:
0-3 behavior slips = S
4-6 slips and/or 1 office referral = P/NI
7+ slips and/or 2 or more office referrals = N/U.
This system will replace classroom clip systems. Remember, “No news is good news.” More information will be provided during Open House.
