Classroom Rules

Each classroom has a time out place. We utilize 123 Magic. Students are counted and at 3 they take a 5 minute time out. Students are then welcomed back to the group. Talk to your child about their behavior at school. Ask them if they were counted and why?


You can find our rules here. These rules come from Whole Brain Teaching by Chris Biffle.
