Check and Connect is a program for targeted at-risk behavior and academic problems using a proactive approach that offers a support system for qualifying students.  Teachers refer students to this program based on a set of criteria.  Students in this program receive an individualized behavior plan with a daily monitoring system by the Check and Connect mentor.  The Check and Connect mentor, teacher, and student create goals for the behavior plan each week.  The point/goal sheet is shown to each teacher after every class period.  The teacher will assign points earned. The MBC mentor and student will add up the points at the end of the day and discuss progress.  Rewards will be earned daily and weekly.  The goal of this program is to help targeted students to become more successful in school.  Parents are notified and consulted before students are placed in the Check and Connect Program.

Student Responsibilities:

1. Students should report each morning and afternoon to the Check and Connect Room each day.

2.Check and Connect students may not disrupt the regular class when returning to the classroom in the mornings.

3. It is the students’ responsibility to show the teacher the “clipboard” point/goal sheet after every class period.

4.Check and Connect students are responsible for all the Natcher rules and procedures. These students may still earn an Office Referral for any inappropriate behavior just as any other student would receive. 

5.If earned, Check and Connect rewards on Fridays may not be taken to the regular classroom. Students who misuse the Friday reward, will lose the privilege the following week. 

6.Check and Connect students should come to the Check and Connect mentor’s room for their reward already packed and ready to go home.  The Check and Connect mentor will dismiss them after the reward.  If they do not earn their reward, then they return to their classroom and will be dismissed with their regular class.
