PBIS AT MILTON
During class meetings last week, we communicated to students that an area of focus for students is the hallway during class changes. To make sure instructional time is maximized, we want to ensure that all students arrive to class on time. The students have been given gentle reminders by the staff to Rep the M by doing the following:
|

Positive
|
M
Be Mindful
|
|
Hallway
|
Avoid Distractions
|
Keep it moving
|

|
Arrive on time
|
In addition, we wanted to communicate to you what will happen should your student arrive late to class on a consistent basis. The following outlines the progression of consequences:
|
Number of Times Late to Class
|
Consequence
|
|
5
|
Student conference and a parent is contacted
