Behavior Plan: Essential 35 and Houses
This year, our focus is going to be on learning concrete lessons that help us become better students, friends, leaders, teammates, and citizens. Our "Essential 35" policies and expectations will be reviewed throughout the first week of school, and then reinforced all year long to help us have a positive school year.
Students will be randomly assigned to one of four houses that will become their team for multiple purposes throughout the school year. Points will be awarded to the houses for exceptional behavior and demonstrations of teamwork.

Class Dojo Introduction
This year we will be using Class Dojo as a communication and behavior tracking tool.
- Parents will receive an e-mail or text invitation to join Class Dojo
- Your child's behavior is available 24/7 via the Class Dojo website / smart phone app
-Class Dojo Messenger allows you to send me messages any time of day.
*I will be available through Class Dojo messenger from 7AM-3PM on Monday through Friday.*
Please note that I will not have the ability to check messages regularly when I am with the students during the day, so if you have an urgent contact need (or transportation change) please call the front office.
Green Dojos = Positive Behaviors
- These are rewarded to Houses when students demonstrate exceptional behavior or teamwork skills.
-The House with the most points every month will be given a special monthly reward!
Red Dojos = Needs Work Behaviors
- Students receive natural and instant consequences for these behaviors
-3 negative dojos within a week will result in the loss of a privilege (such as playground, lunch detention, moved seat, etc.) and a contact home
-These are primarily used so that I may communicate any concerns home to you.
