GCLC Behavior Expectations
The Glidden Community Learning Center is committed to fostering a nurturing and empowering learning atmosphere for every student. Because we cannot guarantee that the principal or guidance counselor will be available to assist with behavior challenges, our protocol guarantees a fair and efficient resolution to any challenges that may emerge, promoting a positive and supportive educational journey for all.
GCLC Behavior Plan
As your child begins working in the Glidden Community Learning Center (GCLC), we would like for you to have an understanding of the expectations that our staff will have and the behavior plan that will be in place for your child. These expectations were developed to help your child have a positive and successful experience with GCLC.
EXPECTATIONS
1. COMPLETE ASSIGNMENT NOTEBOOK: Each middle school student is expected to show his or her updated assignment notebook/agenda book to the tutor. The assignment notebook should show all of the assignments the student needs to work on for the evening. Each elementary students should have his or her EAGLE binder.
2. BE PREPARED: Each student is expected to bring homework and all resources needed, such as handouts, textbooks, paper, pens, pencils, calculators, etc.
3. BE RESPECTFUL: Each students is expected to be respectful and kind to all staff, peers, and property.
4. WORK QUIETLY AND EFFICIENTLY: During homework time, students should work quietly to complete their work and if they finish early, should provide the other students the same opportunity for a quiet work time. If homework is finished, reading and/or an enrichment activity will be provided.
CONSEQUENCES
VERBAL
WARNING
Upon any behavioral infractions, students will receive a verbal warning from a staff member. This serves as an initial reminder of our behavior expectations.
REGULATION
BREAK
If a student continues to exhibit disruptive behavior after the verbal warning, they will be directed to a designated "Regulation Break" area. Here, they can take a brief pause from the group to regain composure and refocus.
THINKING TIME WITH PROGRAM COORDINATOR
Should the behavior persist despite the regulation break, the student will have a one-on-one session with the program coordinator. During this time, expectations will be reiterated, and the student will be encouraged to reflect on their actions and consider better choices.
PARENT PICKUP
If the student continues to fail to cooperate following the intervention with the program coordinator, parents/guardians will be contacted to arrange for pickup for the remainder of the programming day. The student may return the following day of programming.
LOSS OF PRIVILEGES FOR THE FOLLOWING THREE PROGRAM DAYS
If a student requires a second parent pickup due to continued behavioral challenges, parents/guardians will be contacted to arrange for pickup for the remainder of the programming day. The student will be issued a loss of privileges for the following three programming days.
LOSS OF ALL PROGRAMMING PRIVILEGES
If a student requires a third parent pickup due to continued behavioral challenges, parents/guardians will be contacted to arrange for pickup for the remainder of the programming day. The student will no longer be permitted to participate in all programming.
IMMEDIATE REMOVAL POLICY
Engaging in physical harm, leaving designated learning areas without permission (eloping), or any behavior deemed inappropriate will lead to immediate dismissal from the program. Parents/guardians must promptly retrieve the child in such circumstances.
REGULAR SCHOOL DAY BEHAVIOR
If a child is suspended, referred to the office, or has parental contact (elementary) during regular school hours, they will not be allowed to participate in the after-school program for that day. Parents/guardians will receive notification before the school day concludes.
