Behavioral Improvement
- Fifth through eight grade
students will have the opportunity for behavioral improvement
based on both academic performance and behavior.
- A Minor may be issued to
a student after an unacceptable behavior has been recognized.
This may include, but is not limited to such things as: dress
code violations, chewing gum, unacceptable behavior in
classroom, hallway, playground or any other school property,
disrespect to an adult or peer, unacceptable language, etc.
In some cases a Minor may be the result of several verbal
warnings, or it may be immediate consequence for behavior.
- If a student has received
three Minors, a Major Discipline Form will be issued.
This is a serious consequence and will be sent home o parents
as soon as possible. It should be sent back to school
the next day signed by the parent and consequences may result
if this is not done. Minors and Majors are meant to be
means of communication between home and school. The
Minor or Major will not be removed due to the lack of a parent
signature.
- Most time a Minor or
Major will be preceded by a verbal warning. When a
student has received three written offenses (Minors) in either
academic or behavioral actions, a Major will be issued
including a detention. After that, each behavioral
offense may result in a Major and a detention. Each
academic offense may result in a Major and a lunch/recess or
after school detention.
- On the occasion of the
third detention, a conference with the teacher, student and
parents will occur.
- On the occasion of the
fourth detention, the student will have all privileges removed
for a two week time period. This includes sports
(practices and games), extra-curricular activities and field
trips. A conference will also be held at this time with
the teacher, student, parents and principal.
- On the occasion of the
fifth detention, privileges will be removed for the remainder
of the semester. A conference with the student, teacher,
parents, principal and pastor will be held. At this time
a suspension will be issued.
- On the occasion of the
sixth detention, all of the above consequences will be issued
including a suspension. At this time, the student's
placement will be discussed. Expulsion may occur.
All Grade Levels
- Discipline Minors/Majors may be issued by principal, teachers and other adults in authority.
- A detention (recess or after school) will be issued if a student has been tardy five times.
- A detention will be issued when a student has received 5 late work lunches.
- No student will be excused from serving a detention. Parents must provide the necessary transportation.
