Franklin Co. Middle School students are expected to exhibit appropriate behavior. Behavior that promotes learning and encourages maturity during the school day as well as during all school-related activities benefits the student and those around him/her. Students who behave appropriately spend more time in the classroom under academic instruction and tend to do much better on standardized tests. Each student is responsible for his/her behavior. Ø Each student begins with 100 RAC points. Ø Each RAC week runs from Wednesday to the following Tuesday. Weekly point totals will be documented in the student’s agenda on the RAC Log page. Parents are encouraged to sign this page weekly. Ø Any student who has less than 80 points is INELIGIBLE. Ineligible students are not allowed to participate in extra-curricular activities. This includes attending sports events at home and away. Ø Ineligible students who participate in team sports will be allowed to practice, but WILL NOT be allowed to participate in the game/match/meet during the week of ineligibility. NO EXCEPTIONS! Ø Students who do not comply with the ineligibility rule will be given an office referral. Ø Eligible students will be rewarded periodically with extended break time, pep rallies, etc. Ø Students who maintain 80 points or higher for the entire year will be rewarded in May. Ø Students who never lose RAC points are rewarded at the end of the school year. Students have many opportunities to earn back points that they lose. Please encourage your child to work hard to maintain 80 points or higher. Ways to Earn Points Ø 15 points: o After-school Detention on Tuesdays from 3:15 to 4:00 PM.
