Rules and policies
In a letter to parents, a teacher describes the rules and policies that will apply to her students.
These are young kids, Kindergartners or first graders.
Towards the end, the teacher mentions that if the child needs to be frequently reminded to follow the rules, he/she will take time out to think, and a pink slip may apply.
As far as I can see, a pink slip is a warning an adult may receive before getting laid off from a job, but it´s hard to believe that a young kid might get expelled from school for not following the rules.
What could the term mean in this context?

Comment: "Gracias Juan. Claramente la elección de palabras (pink slip) era simplemente alegórica. Llegué a esa conclusión después de leer las opiniones de todos."

regañina
Con un niño pequeño no utilizaríamos una amonestación. Una regañina es lo que lo que se da a los niños pequeños cuando no se portan correctamente.

If a student chooses to break a rule:
· First Time (YELLOW) = A verbal reminder as to how to best follow the classroom rules
· Second Time (ORANGE) = Student receives a time out
· Third Time(pink) = Student receives a time out in another classroom. Student’s **think sheet** is sent home to let you know about your child’s behavior. Please sign the note and have your child return it to school the next day.
· Fourth Time= Student sent to office with office referral
· Breaking the SEVERE CLAUSE will automatically receive an office referral
If your child receives a ***think sheet or pink slip*** please plan for consequences at home. Field trips and special activities in and out of class are a privilege for students who demonstrate that they can consistently follow rules. If a child demonstrates that they are not able to follow school and class rules then they will not be able to participate in any special activities that our class takes part in.
