1. Child chooses step 4
2. Teacher tells child he/she has chosen a step 4 for ...,.....
3. Child goes to a chair (or the teacher uses the floor) and sits facing away from the class. (looks like step 1)
4. Teacher fills out step 4 slip
5. Calls office and tells secretary that the child will be down to the office because he/she has chosen a step 4 for .........
6. Teacher sends child to office with the step 4 slip
7. Child brings step 4 slip to secretary.
8. Secretary calls child's parent and asks child if he/she needs assistance talking to parent.
9. Secretary listens to child's phone call and helps with telling parent why they need to come to school for a step 4 conference
10. Secretary notes on slip that parent has been called then calls buddy room and tells that teacher that a step 4 is on it's way.
11. Child goes to buddy room and waits for parent to arrive. *Note: child travels with buddy room anywhere they are going (i.e. specialist, lunch, etc.) *Note: if the child interferes at all, they should be sent to the office with a note saying they were interfering with the class while on step 4. Administrator must make the call; (in otherwords - is it more than a step 4 now?) however, the appropriate action is to send the child home on a Step 5 for the remainder of the day. The student then returns the next morning with their parent and must have a successful step 4 conference before being allowed back in class.
12. Parent arrives at school and goes to office. Office personnel send (office may want to call the teacher on the phone to let them know the parent is on their way) the parent to the teacher with whom the child chose a step 4. This it to allow the teacher to talk to the parent about the Step 4 before the parent talks to the child.
13. Teacher calls office to request the office notify the buddy room and have the child sent to where the parent and teacher are waiting for them.
14. Child travels from buddy room to where the parent and teacher are waiting for them.
15. Step 4 takes place between the parent & child with the teacher acting as the child's helper.
16. Parent decides if the step 4 conference is successful and if their child is ready to return to their classroom. If 'yes', child returns to class with a copy of the step 4 slip. If 'no', parent takes child home (checks them out in office) then returns the next morning to attempt a successful step 4 conference before the child is allowed back in class.
    

**Note: if the step 4 happens when the child is not with their classroom teacher (i.e. specialist, recess, etc.), the classroom teacher should be called by the office when the child arrives there with their step 4 slip so the classroom teacher will know their student is accounted for.
