The I symbol in orange is for the behavior response

You can add a new event at this point as well

First event was a fight

Second event was drug possession.

Review your information and participants. (Pictures will be available depending on school).

For now, your version of a

pink slip

is to take a screenshot of this. Something is being developed to replace the pink slip

.

Incident number is what you can track.

When you are ready – You can submit the document.Slide42

Referral Submitted

After the incident has been submitted the teacher can no longer edit it.

Administrators

have been advised to only change teacher details/descriptions if names were used where they should not have been.

Secretaries will have “read-only” on the referrals

The district is working on how special education teachers could be notified and Plans of ProvisionsSlide43

FAQ Notes

The “Details” box

should never

be left

blank,

and

NO

students should be identified.

A

student’s initials cannot be used to identify other students.

The difference between a fight and an assaultFight– both kids fight. Misdemeanor assault - - one person is trying to do bodily harm to another. – One kid doesn’t want to fight – felony – Sent to the state…If you aren’t sure put fight.Admin can’t change what you write but they can uncheck the box for restraint, and the type of crime.

Make sure you know school code of conduct.Staff members are to be included and identified as a

participant.Any staff member is responsible for completing and submitting a Behavioral Referral.

This does NOT replace the MPS “Report of Student Accident/Injury” formThe method of communication from school administration after a Behavior Referral has been submitted will be determined by the Principal in each building.The staff member will know that an administrator has received the Behavior Referral and rendered a

resolution by receiving a message in their I.C. mailbox.Slide44
