Student Responsibilities from the SHC Elementary Handbook
Student responsibilities are many and begin with those which the student has to self, to peers, to adults, to his/her school building and its surroundings, and to his/her community. In particular, students share with the administration and faculty in the responsibility to develop a climate within the school which contributes to worthwhile learning and living.
Student responsibility also includes:
Regular school attendance
Conscientious effort in classroom work
Expressing ideas and opinions in a respectful, courteous manner, taking care not to offend others
Respecting the rights of students, cafeteria, and custodial personnel, office staff, bus drivers, teachers, administrators and all others involved in the educational process
Observing the rules and regulations of student behavior for Southern Huntingdon County Elementary Schools
Properly using school materials, equipment, and facilities in a manner that prevents costly damage
Caring for all textbooks and library books issued to them. All books must be accounted for or paid for prior to the end of the school year if lost. A fee will be charged for books damaged beyond the extent of normal use.
Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports (PBIS)

The Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports system has been adopted by Southern Huntingdon County Elementary Schools as a means to instill proper behavior within our students. The expectations are broken down into four general items: Respectful, Responsible, Ready, and Safe.
We started a new behavior program this year at Shade Gap Elementary. This new behavior program is called PBIS – Positive Behavior Interventions and Support. There is information about this program in the student handbook on the school districts website. My classroom rules are: respect school and others, use proper manners, listen & follow directions, everyone be responsible, slow walk & soft talk. I have an “Out of this World Behavior” chart in our classroom. This behavior chart is green (launch – this is where all students start the day), yellow (launch delayed – this is a warning) and red (student will go to Rocket Refueling Club). If students are not following the rules, I will move his/her clip to yellow which is a warning. Other consequences may include: change of seat, student/teacher discussion, call or note home, or speak with head teacher or principal. If the student continues not to listen to the rules he/she will need to go to Rocket Refueling Club and complete a think sheet.
