Schoolwide Classroom Management System

Regarding student behaviors in the classroom, the disciplinary policy at JJHS consists of redirects, going into the hallway and making a choice, and the Refocus Room. 

• Redirects are quick and fast. Examples of redirects are "Jose...Eyes on the board" and "Emily, Seat."

If student behavior continues, they will go out to the hallway, make a choice of the type of support they need, and have a conversation with the teacher. 

• These conversations/choices are supportive and gives the student an opportunity to discuss issues that are causing the negative behavior. 
• There are four possible outocmes from the conversation: 
  • Student can go back into class and be successful.
  • Student takes a 1-2 minutes break then returns to class and chooses to be successful. 
  • Student may ask, or teacher may recommend speaking with one of our support professionals. 
  • Student continues their negative behavior when they go back into class, or negative behavior continues during the hallway conversation. Student then will be sent to the Refocus Room. 

Refocus Room

The Refocus Room is an area where the escalated student fills out a Refocus Form (aka, a Problem-Solving Worksheet), gets support from our professionals, and de-escalates from whatever cause their behavior in class. When the student is finished with their form, the student meets with the Behavior Specialist and discusses the form. Together, they will problem solve, role play better choices, and make sure the student is set up for success when re-entering the classroom. 

When a student is sent to the Refocus Room for the second time during a school day, the Behavior Specialist and student will call parent/guardian to explain the behavior and possible outcomes. 

If a student is sent to the Refocus Room for a third time for any reason in one day, the student is suspended for the remainder of the day and possibly more days.
