“THE REAVIS WAY”

• Be Safe
• Be Respectful
• Be Responsible

Effective learning takes place when students are in a safe and orderly environment. Therefore, Reavis Elementary students are encouraged to develop self-discipline and positive attitudes towards themselves and others. At Reavis we have a Positive Behavior Intervention program that promotes an encouraging and supportive environment.

Students are expected to:

1. Come prepared and on time to school every day.
2. Come to school neat and clean with appropriate uniform.
3. Respect other students, teachers and staff as well as the school property.
4. Show respect for and follow the requests and directions of teachers and supervisors.
5. Use appropriate language.
6. Seek or create alternatives to arguments and fights.
7. Students are not allowed to have or do the following in the building (please refer to the Uniform Discipline Code Handbook for a more comprehensive list):

a. Gum or sunflower seeds in the building.
b. Do damage to another’s personal property.
c. Litter, or to not write on walls, desks, or lockers.
d. Cheat on any assignments.
e. Bring large sums of money to school.
f. Bring harmful inhalants to school.

8. Students should leave all personal equipment at home.
9. Students must have a hall pass to be out of the class unattended.

Our goal at Reavis is to insure that students are learning. In the event of behavior that disrupts learning teachers will refer to the Uniform Discipline Code of the Chicago Public Schools guide students discipline. In the case of student’s misbehavior, the Uniform Discipline Code will be followed and may include the following steps.

1. Teacher-student conference
2. Teacher-student-parent conference
3. Detention
4. Teacher-students-parents-administrator conference
5. In-school suspension
6. Suspension out of school.
