  9. Fifth Grade Discipline Policy The fifth grade discipline policy is based on a positive reward system, rather than a negative consequence system. With this system, students earn rewards (OSPs - Outstanding Student Points) for exemplary behaviors such as always following directions, being respectful to others, showing outstanding effort, and being a positive role model.
