Highland+High+Five

**Learning**-Do your personal best **Leadership**-Set a good example  **Respect**-Take care of yourself, others, and our school  **Responsibility**-Take responsibility for your actions and words  **Commitment**-Use kind words and manners Highland High Five is a new, school-wide, positive behavioral initiative. Highland High Five will help us make our school and classroom a positive learning environment by demonstrating the following five aspects: learning, leadership, respect, responsibility, and commitment. The following five rules will be enforced in our classroom and throughout the school:  As per district policy, students will be allowed three strikes per day. Each classroom has a High Five wheel, and each student has their own clothes pin on the wheel. On the first strike, the clothes pin will be moved to yellow. On the second strike, the clothes pin will be flipped over backwards. On the third strike the clothes pin will be moved to red and the principal will be notified. A student must go all week without any strikes in order to have a Highland High Five week. At the end of each week, those students showing Highland High Five will be rewarded. Students who have a High Five month, meaning they have no strikes all month, will be permitted to participate in the monthly reward. Each week, students will have ONE opportunity to earn a strike back. Each student's planner will be stamped each day to let you know if they had a High Five Day. Students on Yellow and Green will receive a Green hand stamp. Students on red will receive a red hand stamp. I will note how many strikes, if any, your child received each day. Failure to complete ALL homework or bring papers back in signed and on time will result in a strike as it goes against rule 5.
