Third grade behavior management is based on the School’s Behavior Rights

and Responsibilities. Inappropriate behavior results in a correlating letter.

These letters stand for each of the rules in the form that was reviewed and

signed at home. At the beginning of recess, the student will write a note to their parent that should be signed and

returned to school the next day.
