School Wide Behavior Plan
What color is your day?
The Rainbow Behavior System
at Lomas
Lomas is implementing the rainbow behavior chart system. There are seven different colors a student can move their clothespin to throughout the day, either up or down. This way, students have an opportunity to turn any negative behavior around and vice versa. All students start on green or Ready to Learn at the beginning of each day.
The Lomas Rainbow System
Once a student is on the highest level pink or Above and Beyond the student goes to the office to receive a “bling” to add to their clothespin. Once
the student earns ten “blings” they will be recognized on morning announcements. Their
clothespin will be retired and placed on the Lomas Bling Board in the main hallway.
