It is our mission at Joppa Elementary
School to create academically proficient, responsible learners in a
safe, supportive environment as they complete their academic
program. To assist with putting this mission into action, we
have adopted the following school-wide positive behavior support
plan to clarify expectations and guidelines for student
behavior. Our school-wide expectations are:
Be Ready! Be
Respectful! Be Responsible!
Our school has developed and will
provide each student with a copy of a matrix (see below) which
provides behavior expectations and procedures for different areas
within the school. Examples and non-examples of appropriate
school and classroom behavior will be modeled and clarified for students through school-wide
and classroom specific instruction throughout the school
year. In addition to the school-wide rules, each teacher will
have his/her own classroom rules posted in his/her room.
The following check system and
attendance requirements will be used to determine eligibility for
reward activities for grades fifth and sixth. Students will
have the opportunity to earn reward activities every three
weeks.

Our goal at Joppa School is to guide
and encourage students to become responsible and respectful
individuals, ready to make conscientious decisions that affect
their future. We work each day to show students the positive
outcomes they can achieve by making good decisions. By
working together with students and their families, we can make a
difference.
The faculty and staff of Joppa
Elementary School would like to thank the parents and family of our
students, without your support the success of this program would
not be possible.
