Discipline Plan

The purpose of a discipline plan is to establish and maintain a classroom environment conducive to learning for all students.  It is my belief that students have a right to an education in an environment that makes them feel safe; is free from distractions and bullying.  I make sure each student is aware of consequences for inappropriate behavior.  If students choose to break rules or not follow procedures, I will address the student using the sequence of actions below.  Some steps may be skipped depending on the severity of the offense.

Order of Consequences

  1. Nonverbal cues/verbal warning
  2. 2nd Warning
  3. Student conference with silent snack 
  4. Silent lunch with parent contact
  5. Parent conference request (with administration)
  6. Office Referral

Daily Behavior Card Chart:

Students will start on green with each teacher, each day.  This gives them a chance to self-correct their behavior throughout the day.  Students will remain on green for consequences #1 and #2.  They will move their card to yellow for consequence #3.  They will move their card to orange for consequences #4 & #5.  When a student moves his/her card to red, they are on consequence #6.  Cards are moved to green the following day.  Consequences #4, #5, & #6 will be documented in their graded papers folder for parents to sign.  Teachers will also keep a record of conduct in their grade book.

B I O G R A P H Y

This is my  27th year in the classroom and I have enjoyed every minute of it!  I have experience teaching 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th grades.  I have taught in private and public schools.  I am from Prattville and graduated from PHS in 1986.  I have a husband, 4 sons, 2 daughters-in-law, and 7 grandchildren.  I enjoy reading, puzzles, board games, salty snacks, sweet tea, and spending time with my family.  

I believe in challenging students to reach their highest potential in a positive, nurturing environment.  I am looking forward to a fantastic year working with you and your child!
