School Rules

Kratt Schoolwide Rules

School rules are made not only to protect our students and staff, but also to provide a structured environment in the classroom, playground, and cafeteria. We ask for your cooperation in supporting these rules.

1. Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself.
2. Demonstrate respect towards other students and adults at all times.
3. Use appropriate school language at all times.
4. Follow directions the first time given.
5. Do not disrupt the learning environment.
6. Be a Bucketfiller!

Kratt has developed a 3 level Behavior System.

Level 1 behaviors are minor and will be corrected by the adult in charge.

Level 2 behaviors are more serious and the student will receive a consequence from the teacher.  Possible consequences could include loss of privileges, timeout, phone call home.

Level 3 behaviors are those behaviors that are chronic level 1 or 2 behaviors, behaviors that pose a threat to adult authority, pose a threat to physical safety and/or shut down the learning environment. Level 3 behaviors will be dealt with by an administrator and necessary disciplinary action will be taken. Possible consequences could include loss of privileges, detention, pre-suspension, restitution, suspension or expulsion.

Classroom Discipline

All classrooms support the school wide discipline policy; however each individual teacher may design a separate discipline system that is more relevant to the needs of their individual classroom. Please make sure that you are aware of the expectations of your child’s teacher and support those expectations.
