There are four (4) school wide rules. They are:
1. Follow directions of school adults.
2. Do nothing which causes injury to yourself or others.
3. Do nothing to disrupt the learning of others or school activities.
4. Do nothing to harm or destroy school or personal property
Management of student behavior is a responsibility shared by students, parents, the school, and the community, and consists principally of teaching and reinforcing positive student attitudes and behaviors.
Discipline is handled first by classroom teachers/specialists/paraprofessionals. For repeated offenses or more serious infractions, the student is referred to the administration. Often, the counselor(s) is called upon to suggest intervention strategies and conflict resolution/peer mediation.
Infractions are categorized as minor and major and consequences are established by each school. These consequences range from verbal warning, conferences, “time out” rooms, school service programs, community service, counseling programs, lunch detention, work detail, after school detentions, and other behavior modification techniques that are within the experience of the teacher, to in-school suspension, out-of-school suspension, and in extreme cases, expulsion. The above mentioned behavior modification techniques must be exhausted prior to resorting to disciplinary consequences that remove a child from the
school, except when a child poses an immediate threat to his or her safety or the safety of others in the school. |
