  10. Check-in/Check-out Program Check-in/Check-out is part of Stratford Landing’s Positive Behavior Support Program. It is a way to recognize and encourage positive behavior in individual students. The student and teacher select specific goals based on student need. Students meet with the school counselor on a daily basis to review the goals for the day. Throughout the day, the teacher and student will determine if the the goals have been met. At the end of the day, the counselor and student meet again to assess the day. A copy of the Check-in/Check-out Report goes home with the student each night for parent review and signature. The report should be brought back the next day. Thank you for your support of the Check-in/Check-out Program and Positive Behavior Support at Stratford Landing.
