Discipline Guidelines


Procedures - Teachers establish basic rules of behavior, such as: follow directions; raise hand before speaking; stay in seat; keep hands, feet and objects to yourself; no bad language or teasing. Rules are enforced quickly and consistently. Disruptions are not ignored. When a student breaks a rule, a warning is given. Parent/teacher conferences may be requested. After several warnings and parent contact, the student will be sent to the principal. In cases of severe disruption, the student is sent immediately to the principal. The principal and teacher will decide together on what is to be done with students who are sent to the office. The principal and teacher will decide together on who will notify the parents. The student will be asked to reflect upon the disruptive behavior by filling out a School Behavior Referral form with the principal.

Plan/Options-The principal will speak to the student. The student may remain in the office for a short period of time. The student can be sent to the office for in-school suspension. Academic work will be provided for the student. The student may be kept after school for detention when necessary or desirable. Parent contact must be made prior to 2:00 p.m. If a parent cannot be reached, the student may not be kept after school. In a serious situation, a parent may be requested to come to school for a conference and the child may be sent home with the parent.
