Color Chart- A chart used for the purpose of giving student a visual representation and reminder of

behavioral expectations and their current standing within the discipline process.

PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports)- A behavioral system used to increase appropriate

behaviors and decrease inappropriate behaviors by providing clear expectations and consequences to

students, focusing on what we would like students to do as opposed to what we do not want them to

do, and providing tiered behavioral interventions for students who have difficulty succeeding within the

standard disciplinary system.

Loss of Recess- Generally, loss of recess will refer to students standing against the wall outside during

recess or sitting in the hallway during inside recess.

Detention- Detention refers to lunch detention, due to misbehavior, that takes place during the

student’s lunch recess time in the library. Lunch detention is supervised, and students are expected to

either sit quietly or complete an assigned task. This type of detention may be given for behavioral

infractions that lead to multiple color changes and/or trips to the office.

Homework Detention- Unlike behavior detentions, homework detentions are the result of a child’s

failure to complete a homework assignment. Homework detentions are not considered to be a

punishment, but instead an opportunity to complete a homework assignment and earn a grade.

Behavior Plan- A behavior improvement plan for an individual student developed with a cooperative and

inclusive team, including some or all of the following: teachers, the principal, parents, students, and

other appropriate staff members. This type of plan is developed for students whose behaviors are not

successfully managed under the school-wide discipline plan, and this plan may include additional goals,

incentives, data tracking, and tier II and/or tier III interventions. Behavior plans are managed through

the IAT/RTI process, and should include regular meetings to monitor effectiveness and make changes as

needed.

RTI (Response to Intervention)- A tiered system of academic or behavioral interventions.
