If the child repeats or breaks another rule, he/she will clip down again to orange "think about it" and loses 10 minutes of recess.  If behavior involves hurting another child, they will lose their extra curricular activity. 
If a third offense occurs, he/she will have to clip down to red " oh no! stop!" and will lose half of recess, entire extra curricular activity, visit the principal and guardian will be contacted.
        Student's are also rewarded for good behavior.  The student can clip up to purple "great effort" and receive a piece of candy at the end of the day. 
Student's can clip up again to pink "role model"  and receive a piece of candy and a prize from the treasure box.
