A few thoughts about
POSITIVE BEHAVIOR SUPPORT…
Start off on the RIGHT foot ….
ESTABLISH positive relationships with the parents & students
Panther Paws
REWARD positive behaviors
Give students PANTHER PAWS for making positive choices- DOING THE RIGHT THING!
Students can in turn place their name in a drawing for a prize
A few words about DISCIPLINE… Collaborate with the teachers
REINFORCE the positive
Document any parent communication
Strategies to use:
• Talk with the students at eye level
• Have the student identify the problem behavior
• Have the students work with you to identify a plan for improvement and/or a fair consequence
… the next step…. If student behaviors are impeding the
learning of others, how can administration help?
◦ Call the office to have administration talk with the student
◦ If the student is not responding to redirects & other interventions, the student can have a quiet place to “reflect” in the office.
* if you send a student to the office, please call the office prior to sending them.
Send work to the office within 30 minutes of sending the student to ensure that learning is continuous.
… and the next step….
If there is an ongoing pattern of behavior, interventions have been implemented, and parent contact has been made, the next step is writing a discipline referral.
BUS AIDES
Bus aide assignments have been made-must have a PHYSICAL completed
All IA’s are expected to be available if a SUB is needed.
Bus aides need to find a sub if one is needed and record it in the bus aide book at the front desk
(bus #-- AM or PM- sub)
PANTHER PAWS ON THE BUS
REINFORCE positive behaviors on the bus by giving students Panther Paws
Help the bus driver by enforcing the BUS ESSENTIAL AGREEMENTS

agreements in the cafeteria. (in your folder)
The first class in cafeteria will go straight to the line.
All remaining classes will sit in their assigned seats and wait to be called to the line by the cafeteria staff.
No students should be out of their seats-if they need anything, they raise their hand.
LUNCH DUTIES- DISMISSAL
Dismissal should begin FIVE minutes prior to the end of the lunch period. (QUIET TIME)
Dismiss a COLORED table group at a time.
One lunch supervisor should clean tables
One lunch supervisor should dismiss tables
One lunch supervisor should stand by trash cans to ensure students maintain order
Students should return to their seats after emptying their trays to wait
for their teachers.

can be selected to sweep the cafeteria.
