Behavior Level System

A point and level system has been developed and implemented at ACE Academy for the purpose of assisting students in the monitoring and control of their own behavior. Through this system, students work to earn privileges as well as transition back to their home schools. The level system is based on the student’s ability to earn points for appropriate behavior. Appropriate behavior is defined as follows:

 

• Participating in classroom and school activities

• Being on time to class and school

• Completing assigned tasks

• Not interfering with staff in the performance of assigned duties

• Following adult directions on first request

• Respecting others (peers and adults)

• Using appropriate language

• Any other behavior which is unique for specific student (targeted behaviors)

• Returning the sheet daily to their teacher signed by the parent

• Adhering to dress code for ACE Academy
