  3. School Wide Discipline Plan • Overview. Bailey Middle School uses a school-wide approach to discipline. Students are expected to follow six school rules (see Bailey Middle School Rules) and all staff members implement the program. Students who behave appropriately earn privileges and students who do not behave appropriately lose privileges. • The Behavior Sheet. All students carry an 8½ x 5 sheet of colored paper known as a behavior sheet. Staff members record rule violations by signing on this sheet for the appropriate period of the day and the rule(s) violated. Each Friday students return their behavior sheets to their homebase teacher and receive new sheets. Teachers will keep a record of any rule violations. • Privilege Levels. There are four privilege levels in the program. A student’s level is reflected by the color of his or her behavior sheet. These levels are called Ace (green), Bronco 1 (blue), Bronco 2 (yellow), and Grounded (pink). Incentives are tied to these levels and are given randomly. The requirements for each level are below: • Ace level: green sheet 0 rule violations per week • Bronco 1: blue sheet 1-4 rule violations per week • Bronco 2: yellow sheet 5-10 rule violations per week • Grounded: pink sheet 11 or more rule violations per week • Weekly Reports. To facilitate communication between school and home, weekly reports are brought home by students on Fridays if they are at a Bronco 2 level or Grounded.

  4. Bailey Middle School Six • 1. Prepare for class. • 2. Follow adult directions. • 3. Respect others and property. • 4. Avoid disruption of education. • 5. Be responsible with belongings. • 6. Follow the safety rules and CMS Code of Conduct. A violation of Rule 6 indicates serious misbehavior that is to be brought to the attention of an Administrator. When Rule 6 is broken, the teacher completes a Referral form, and an Administrator will issue the appropriate discipline. Only when the student is severely disruptive in class, such that instruction cannot continue should he or she be sent to an Administrator’s Office. Otherwise, the Referral should be given to an Administrator at the teacher’s earliest convenience. Substitutes should be equipped with the plan and necessary sheet colors. 3
