student's mailing address. Addresses will be listed
as Primary, second, and so on.
When printing mailing envelopes:
“Print envelope” will print an envelope
for every address under a student.
Those that live at multiple addresses,
this solves that problem.
The MAP link will

the student’s
address on a map.
Household Information
• The Household provides users with a view of the addresses associated with
the student's household and all of the people that have a relationship with the
student.
• Relationships to people outside of the household (aunt/uncle, daycare
provider) appear in the Non-Household Relationship box. If a student is a
member of multiple households, information for both households will display.
Any new information the you receive, you need to email the head secretary to fix.

Fight– both kids fight. Misdemeanor
assault - - one person is trying to do bodily harm to another. – One kid doesn’t want to fight – felony –
Sent to the state…
If you aren’t sure put fight.
Admin can’t change what you write but they can uncheck the box for restraint,
and the type of crime.
Make sure you know school code of conduct.
Staff members are to be included and identified as a participant.
Any staff member is responsible for completing and submitting a Behavioral
Referral.
This does NOT replace the MPS “Report of Student Accident/Injury” form
The method of communication from school administration after a Behavior
Referral has been submitted will be determined by the Principal in each
building.
The staff member will know that an administrator has received the Behavior
Referral and rendered a resolution by receiving a message in their I.C. mailbox.
