Dear Parents,

We would like to take this opportunity to welcome you and your child to the John V. Leigh School Junior High Behavior Intervention Program.  It is our belief that no matter what goals we set, if we work together as a team, we can successfully achieve them.  The use of classroom management (Level System) has created an environment where the expectations are very high, both behaviorally and academically.  Our goal is to provide your child with the best possible education so that he/she will be able to return to the regular education classroom as soon as possible.

The classroom management program is broken down into four levels; the first level is very restrictive with the student spending 85% of the day in one classroom, and the last level being the least restrictive with the student spending 90% of the day mainstreaming to regular education classes.

The program is based on the completion of work and the student’s ability to demonstrate responsible behaviors.  The day is broken down into ten periods (academics, recess/lunch and homeroom.)  Five to six academic subjects will be given each day and it is the student’s responsibility to complete assigned work from each subject.   For each period the students can earn ten points (for a total of 100 points each day.)  The students are rated for each of the periods, on their behavior and academic performance.  If they choose to work, follow the rules and demonstrate responsible behavior, then they will have a successful day and earn all their points.  If they do not complete the work during the time assigned then they must take these assignments home for homework.  If homework is not completed from the previous day then it is to be completed before he/she begins that day’s work.

Attached you will find a copy of the Level System, as it is explained to your child.  We cannot stress enough that this program has been set up in order to aid your child in learning to take responsibility for his/her own behavior.  With the support of both myself, and you, the parent, we can work together to encourage your child to make the right decisions, to become a responsible and successful individual.

Please feel free to contact us at any time (708) 456-8848 (Room 115).  We are looking forward to working with your child and anxiously await a successful school year.

 

Sincerely,

Mrs. Susan Sturgulewski  ssturgulewski@norridge80.org
