Positive Behavior Intervention Strategy (PBIS)- We R4 the Bluejay Way
DISCIPLINE
We, at Hartley, believe that children learn to practice responsible behavior just as they learn to read and write, do mathematics, play an instrument, or participate in sports. All members of our staff will be involved in a behavior program that teaches children to be responsible. The goal is to create a safe, respectful, and responsible school environment conducive to learning for all. Hartley’s school-wide discipline program is called “We R4 the Bluejay Way.” Respecting Yourself, Respecting Others, Respecting Property, and Respecting Learning.

The chart below shows the behaviors that we value at Hartley, the behaviors that we need to work on, as well as, behaviors that are bottom line and not tolerated. “Above the Line” behaviors are acceptable and expected behaviors at school. “Below the Line” behaviors are unacceptable behaviors and may result in communication home and working with students on fixing the problem. This will include a plan and an action the child will take to insure the behavior will not continue. We try to incorporate logical consequences that follow the 3 R’s: Related to the behavior, delivered Respectfully, and Reasonable.
“Bottom Line” behaviors are behaviors that are considered totally inappropriate for school. “Bottom Line” behaviors may result in or may include, but not be limited to, a conference, detention, in-school suspension, referral to the police, out-of-school suspension, and/or expulsion.
