Behavior Management

AT PS 52, we monitor behavior using a Traffic Light System, GREEN means your child had a great day. Students always aim to stay on green. YELLOW is a warning. It may mean that something went wrong. But your child can always correct the behavior and go back to green. RED means your child was unable to correct their behavior and make better choices. He/She will be spoken to about the behavior and the teacher will follow up with parent contact.

Behavior Calendar- initial your child’s behavior calendar everyday. It will be located on your child’s folder.
