Students MUST bring this to and from school each day so behavior can be recorded daily and reviewed by you each night.

Behavior Calendar Calendar will be stamped with bingo markers daily:

E = green S = yellow N = orange U = red

Orange can result in a loss of extra recess and a written consequence (essay, apology letter, etc).

Red will result in a parent phone call and/or email to discuss how the child earned red and what can happen in the future to avoid it.
