Activity Data Entry

Behavior (Hopefully this will not be needed)

There will be a "behavior book" in the class where we will keep track of student behavior (both good and bad). Each time an instance is noted, the student will be required to write three things in the book:

1. Name
2. Time of occurrence
3. Explanation of the behavior

Depending on the type and severity of the behavior, other corrective options may be utilized at the discretion of the teachers, in compliance with the St. Simon Parish School Parent-Student Handbook.
