Behavior Expectations The 8 th grade Washington D. C. trip is an incredible opportunity for our students to explore our nation’s capital. We provide a memorable experience visiting various sites, museums, and monuments. This opportunity is available to all 8 th grade students who are interested in the trip, but we do hold our students accountable to high behavior expectations. ALL 8 th grade students start out with 10 behavior points to encourage the positive behavior we require to attend this trip. If a student loses and gets to zero points, they are no longer eligible to attend the Washington D. C. trip in the Spring. This is not at all a punishment, but meant to be an incentive, encouragement, and motivation for students to exceed in appropriate behaviors.
Behavior Expectations Deductions will be made to student behavior points for the following ◦ Office or Bus Referral = 2 points ◦ Wednesday School or Bus Suspension = 5 points ◦ Out of School Suspension = 8 points for every day of suspension ◦ Effective October 18, 2016 -May 1, 2017 ◦ Refund policy still applies if student is removed from trip roster due to behavior
