Discipline Guidelines 

Student Code of Conduct

Procedures

    Teachers set down basic rules of behavior. These rules may include: follow directions, raise your hand before speaking, stay in your seat, keep hands, feet and objects to yourself and no foul language or teasing. Rules are enforced quickly and consistently.  Disruptions will not be ignored. A warning of consequence will be given. If warranted, a parent-teacher conference may be requested. If, after several warnings and parent contact, the student’s behavior does not improve, it will be brought to the attention of the principal.  In cases of severe disruption, the student is sent immediately to the principal. The principal and teacher(s) decide together on the course of action. Parents will be notified of serious misconduct and the consequences for this inappropriate behavior.
  
Intervention Options
 
    In cases where serious misconduct has occurred, one of the following options will be used by the principal. 

• The student might meet with the principal to develop a plan for resolving the inappropriate behavior.  This plan will be sent home for parent review and signature.  
• During the school day, if warranted, a student might be removed from his/her program for serious misconduct, and placed on in-school suspension.  Parents will be informed of this incident.   
• If a student’s actions warrant being assigned to a full day of in-school suspension, parents will be informed at least the day before the assigned suspension is scheduled to take place.
