School-Wide Behavior Management System
Sauganash Stand Out Program - Be a standout student! (School-Wide)
A Proactive & Positive Approach to Classroom Management
Community - Am I being respectful?
Honesty - Am I telling the truth?
Inclusivity - Am I including others?
Empathy - Am I understanding how others are feeling?
Focus - Am I on task?
* Monthly Pep Rallies celebrating student achievement
* Fun Friday Activities
* Reflection sheets for behavior (Individual Behavior)
* Coin & Ticket Incentives (Earn Coins and Tickets for outstanding behavior and you may be chosen to win a prize.)
Reflection sheets include how students feel, what happened, what they can do differently next time, and if they are ready to join the group. Warnings will be given before a reflection sheet is filled out or discussed. After 3 reflection sheets, students may miss Fun Friday activities, our monthly pep rally to celebrate great behavior/characteristics, or another fun activity.

Olweus Bullying Prevention Program (OBPP)
Program Developer: Dan Olweus, Ph.D.
U.S. Developer: Sue Limber, Ph.D. 
OBPP is a research-based, systems change program designed for all students K-12. It is preventative and responsive. OBPP focuses on changing norms and restructuring the school setting. 
Sauganash School has taken the initiative to proactively take on bullying in and out of the classroom. We believe bullying is a serious problem that may lead to many negative consequences, such as future incarceration, trauma, depression, and suicide. All staff members have been trained in the Olweus Bullying Prevention System. 
School-Wide Rules about Bullying (posted in classroom)
* We will not bully others.
* We will try to help students who are bullied.
* We will try to include students who are left out.
