What is an "offense"?
An offense means you have broken a rule. An offense on the rubric moves up depending on how many times you have broken that same rule.

Molly told another student they smell. What level would this be?
What does "intimidation" mean?
:frightens or threatens another person, making them lose confidence, feel fear, or feel inadequate. This can be due to their appearance, behavior, personality, or a combination of these factors, creating a feeling of unease or superiority in the other person.
Horseplay behaviors are what level?
level 1
What levels have 5 offenses?
level 2 and level 3
What is "restitution?"
:the act of making things right, either by returning something that was taken away or by paying for damages, losses, or injuries caused.
Molly has told a student that they smell 4 times now. What level would this be?
possibly level 1 BUT if Molly is telling other students this as well OR if Molly does it for a 5th time, it would move to level 2- spreading low-level rumors
What are level 0 behaviors?
*list at least 5*
whispering about others, rude facial expressions, mimicking, low-level mean words, sarcastic remarks, eye rolling, refusal to comply, refusal to work with partner/group, laughing at someone, intimidating starting, low-level gossip, etc.
PURPOSEFUL behavior causing MODERATE to SEVERE injury or damage, including cyber-bullying is what level?
level 4
Why do YOU think level 0, level 1 and level 4 don't use 5 offenses?
Anything is acceptable because it's an opinion.
The reason for level 0 and level 1 having no 5th offense is because, if someone has broken that rule 5 times, it would move to a level 2. It would now be considered MEAN behavior, NOT horseplay etc.
The reason for level 4 having no 5th offense is because due to the severity, the 5th offense would involve getting the board of education or other people at the admin building involved.
Who's job is it to "repair the harm"?
WHOEVER caused the harm. It's your job to figure out how to make things right.
People who can help you with that: your teacher, Ms. Livie, Ms. Trista, Mrs. Alicia, Ms. Emma, Mr. Pilgrim, Ms. Lavender, or any other adult in the building.
WE ARE ALL IN THIS COMMUNITY TOGETHER!
Molly could apologize (ONLY IF SHE MEANS IT). How would MOLLY feel if someone said that she smelled? Probably embarrassed. Molly could ask the student if they needed anything like deodorant or something that would be helpful instead of hurtful. Molly could talk to her teacher about it who could help the student... because lets be real, we ALL stink sometimes. It's hot out here.

*the first four interventions are what your teacher does in the moment when you are mistreating your peers*
1. 15 second intervention
2. restate definiton of harmful behavior

If Earl was throwing food in the cafeteria, what are some ways he could "repair the harm"?
Give at LEAST 2 examples.
Earl could apologize to the students who he threw food at. Earl could stay after to help sweep/wipe down the cafeteria for a certain amount of time. Earl could clean other parts of the school to help out custodians who are in charge of cleaning up. Early could write an apology to the lunch staff that worked hard to prepare the food that he wasted. ETC.
Harold has stolen a fidget from a student. Harold gets a level 3, 1st offense. Harold does not want to admit he stole it because he doesn't want to get in more trouble. What would happen if Harold was honest about taking it?
He would have a less severe consequence. HONESTY always comes first. Stealing is NOT okay, Harold will still have a consequence but he repaired the harm by being honest and if he returns the fidget, he may have 1 supervised lunch/recess detention instead of 2.
What does "classes only schedule" mean?
The student participates in no before-or after-school activities (including sports), has all lunches, recesses, breakfasts away from peers, and no fieldtrips/parties for a specified period of time.
