Simmons Elementary Newsletter Kim Aman Principal September 2018 Welcome Back Welcome Back for the 2018-19 School Year. We are doing a sports theme this year and we are excited to start the year! Discipline Process We have developed a system which helps all students make good choices. The first step when a student makes a poor choice is a reminder or a conversation about their choice. The next step in the child filling out a Behavior Break. This form helps the student and staff process the choice and talk about how to make better choices in the future. If warranted, the next step is a Discipline Communicator. This slip communicates what choice the student made and what the consequence will be. The Behavior Break sheet and the Discipline Communicator both go home to families and have to be signed and returned. The Discipline Communicator is imputed into your child's file. Our Discipline process follows a continuum. Our number one goal in to help your child make good choices and reach their potential. Parking Thank you for not coming into the North parking lot. This is a staff parking lot and along with teachers, our students and Simmons Middle School kids walk through this lot. Every year we have close calls with staff and students almost being hit. Please choose safety over convenience and drop your students off in front of the school or on the South end by the playground. We appreciate you making the safety of our students and staff a priority!
