DISCIPLINE
Good discipline is expected at Pleasant Grove Elementary School. Discipline is an
important part of maintaining a good learning environment. Good behavior is
expected from all students. Such discipline is intended to eliminate inappropriate
behavior and, more importantly, to recognize and reward the students who do follow
the rules. School personnel make every effort to be consistent in their expectations
and in dealing with inappropriate behavior. Parents need to be aware of their child's
behavior at school so they can help correct the situation when there is a problem.
PGES uses a color coded, card flip procedure as the school wide discipline plan. The
card system allows teachers to control student behavior and insure equal and
consistent treatment of each student. The system of daily behavior management is
explained below:
GREEN - Indicates proper behavior. No card has been flipped.
YELLOW - First disruption - students are given a verbal reprimand from the teacher.
One card has been flipped.
PURPLE - Second disruption - students are given a verbal reprimand from the
teacher. Two cards have been flipped.
BLUE - Third disruption - The student is placed in classroom time-out for the
remainder of the school day. A copy of time-out rules is placed on the student's desk
as a reminder of expected time-out behaviors. Time-out rules are: No Talking, Stay
Seated, and Complete All Assigned Work. Three cards have been flipped at this point.
RED - Student violates the time-out rules and will be sent to the principal's office.

Note: * Students who habitually reach the purple card can be placed in time-out.
Those who habitually reach time-out can be sent to the office.
*Students who are placed in time-out at the end of the day may be placed in time-out
until lunch the following school day.
*Office referrals will be handled by following the Cleburne County Code of Conduct.
I believe communicating with parents is the best way to correct misbehaviors. When a
student is sent to the office, a discipline notice will be completed and sent home with
the student for a parent's signature. If there is a serious concern, I will also make a
phone contact with the student's parent. Corporal punishment is a consequence for
misbehavior that is approved by the State of Alabama and Cleburne County Board of
Education. It is my policy to not paddle if parents are uncomfortable with this
consequence. It is the parent's responsibility to make a written request at the
beginning of each school year if they do not wish for their child to be paddled. If you
wish for your child to not be paddled, you may be expected to come and pick your
child up from school. A call will be made if this is necessary.
