Discipline Plan
The purpose of a discipline plan is to establish and maintain a classroom environment conducive to learning for all students. It is my belief that students have a right to an education in an environment that makes them feel safe; is free from distractions and bullying. I make sure each student is aware of consequences for inappropriate behavior. If students choose to break rules or not follow procedures, I will address the student using the sequence of actions below. Some steps may be skipped depending on the severity of the offense.
Class Expectations...You need to be
- Prompt
- Positive
- Polite
- Prepared
- Productive
Order of Consequences
- Nonverbal cues
- Verbal Warning (silent snack)
- Parent contact through ParentSquare, email, or phone call AND student will fill out the student reported discipline form
- Parent conference request
- Office Referral

This is my 25th year in the classroom and I have loved every minute of it! I have experience teaching 1st, 3rd, 5th & 6th grades, in private and public schools. I am from Prattville and graduated from PHS in 1986. I have a husband, 4 sons, 2 daughters-in-law, and 5 grandchildren. I enjoy reading, puzzles, CFA , Southern Bells Nutrition, and spending time with my family.
I believe in challenging students to reach their highest potential in a positive, nurturing environment. I am looking forward to a fantastic year working with you and your child!
