  7. The 6th Grade Transition…(continued) BEHAVIORAL RESPONSIBILTIES • Locker Times—Students have been assigned locker times. Top lockers go to lockers before the even numbered periods + bottom lockers before the odd numbered periods. • When off team, students are allowed to go to their locker during an unscheduled time. • Gotta Go Passes—Fosters preparedness and efficient time management. (see next slide) • Yellow Cards + Red Cards • Yellow cards result in a 5 minute lunch detention and are issued if a student doesn’t correct a behavior after a warning. This results in a behavior reflection with a parent signature due the next day. • Red cards are issued if a student doesn’t correct the same behavior after receiving a yellow card or if they have a major behavior infraction. This results in a full after school or lunch detention, and a parent signature.
