Students must follow school rules and exert effort toward academic achievement.  Teachers have the responsibility for providing clear expectations and consistent consequences while teaching students how to conduct themselves well in school.
           
If a student breaks a rule, s/he earns a lunch reFOCUS time. If a student earns lunch reFOCUS, she or he fills out the reFOCUS slip with his or her name, the date, the name of the teacher who assigned reFOCUS and the reason or reasons why s/he earned reFOCUS.  The student reports to the lunch reFOCUS section of the lunchroom, at the beginning of the lunch period.  The student signs in on the attendance sheet. The student sits quietly. Students will be released to get their lunches when there is no line or after ten minutes, whichever comes first.
           
After successfully completing lunch reFOCUS, the reFOCUS teacher will sign the reFOCUS slip.  The student must return the signed slip to the teacher who assigned reFOCUS, in order to be finished.

The purpose of reFOCUS is to change behaviors.  If a student is assigned reFOCUS for the same reasons repeatedly or if a student does not attend reFOCUS, the consequence will be supplemented by movement on the referral ladder.
