  18. Example of Consequences: • Loss of privileges – loss of free time, recess, computer game time, etc. • Exclusion from group activity – Student can be separated from the group until they are ready to follow the rules. • Visit to the principal’s office – Only when the situation warrants. Make sure you call the office to let them know the student is coming.
