Reminder slips should not be tied in with detention or other disciplinary action . This is not a discipline program . At the middle school level, students are to fill out reminders slips themselves so the students will be reminded of the proper responsibility. Since we are asking students to be responsible, they should be given opportunities to be a part of this process. If a student refuses to fill out the reminder, then it has turned into a discipline issue and should be responded to accordingly.
Students are responsible for erasing the reminder.
Teachers should not remind students if they are close to accumulating five slips. At the different grade levels, teachers should meet and decide at least 3 weeks before the end of each grading period what the reward day activity will be and submit the decision to the RSP committee for approval. Funding and time involved are considerations.
