The Behavior module provides tools for monitoring and recording behavior incidents, for creating letters for parents/guardians regarding student's behavior and for generating reports related to behavior.
Behavior Setup
The Behavior Settings tools are used to set up behavior events/incidents, resolutions, and responses. For the most part, these settings apply to the entire district, but there are instances where an event, resolution or response may only apply to a particular school.
Event Types
Tool Search: Event Type Setup
Behavior Event Types organize behavior incidents into categories.

State Event Code (Mapping)
State Event Codes indicate the reason a student was subject to a disciplinary action. These are the official state codes to which all district-defined behavior events/incidents should be mapped. Behavior events/incidents that are not mapped to a state event code do NOT report.
