STUDENT MISCONDUCT

All students have a right to an education.  When, in the judgment of school personnel, the behavior of a student disrupts activities and the learning of other members in school, the student will be held accountable and be expected to accept the consequences.

 

Initial incidents of classroom disruption (except for severe Class A or B offenses) will be handled by the teacher.  Each teacher has a clear set of classroom rules that are discussed at length with the students at the beginning of the school year.  These rules are posted in the classroom as a reminder to students and copies are given to parents. Possible teacher intervention strategies include phone calls home to parents," time out", tutoring, behavior contracts, parent-teacher conferences or sending the disruptive student to the office.  Any student who does not respond to the intervention strategies of the classroom teacher and/or interferes with the safety or education of others shall be removed from the classroom.
