Classroom behavior. Discipline is a school-wide effort. In order for the school to maximize student learning, two aspects of our discipline policy must be considered: Each classroom will have class rules as part of our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support Plan and others that have been carefully developed by the teacher and/or other students, appropriate for that learning environment. It is the responsibility of the student to comply with and conform to the class rules. Failure to comply may result in disciplinary procedures described in the discipline section of this handbook. Students who remain within the guidelines will receive all of the benefits of the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support components as described in the PBIS section of the handbook. It is through positive classroom behavior, including student engagement, which students can expect to learn and succeed in their classes. Detentions are assigned in writing with a minimum of 24 hours advance notice- with the exception of Lunch Detentions. Teachers may hold their own detentions in their classrooms before and after school and during lunch. Students must have a written pass in order to enter the building before school and during lunch. If the detention is after school, the parent/legal guardian is notified by means of a detention notice at least one (1) day before the detention is to be served. Two (2) copies of the detention notice will be sent home with the student. One (1) copy is to be retained by the parent/legal guardian. One (1) copy should be signed by the parent/legal guardian and returned to school before the detention is to be served. The parent/legal guardian can legally refuse to allow the student to serve the detention. However, the student will be subject to suspension from school. If a student fails to serve a detention or does not serve the entire detention because he/ she arrived late or left early, as a courtesy, administrators will reschedule the detention one time. Any subsequent failures to serve the entire scheduled detention will result in the student having to serve an in-school suspension. Students who are issued behavior reports, detentions, parental conferences, and suspensions are required to bring the paperwork home to aparent/guardian. The parent is to sign the paperwork and return it with the child the next day. Students who receive detentions are not allowed to attend the detention without returning the detention notice containing a parent signature. Students who are issued parental conferences and suspensions are required to attend a meeting at the school to discuss the child’s behavior. Students are not allowed to return to school without a parent/guardian. Students who do not return paperwork or do not attend scheduled conferences are subject to further disciplinary action. Students are responsible for their behavior. Students will be afforded an opportunity for due process. It is in the student’s best interest to use this opportunity to provide truthful explanations of all events in question. In the event that there are witnesses, witnesses will be called for further explanation if needed. If a student refuses to write an explanation of the events in question, he/she forfeits his/her due process rights. Violations of class and school rules may result in any one or combination of the consequences that follow: (1) verbal warning (2) phone call home (3) loss of PBIS benefits (4) ineligibility to participate in school activities such as sports, cheerleading, dances, and field trips (5) suspension (in-school or out of school) or (6) expulsion. Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support is a strategic plan to encourage appropriate student behavior through the support of good behaviors and a reward program for these behaviors. These rewards may be a field trip, school dance, out of uniform, movie/popcorn day or other activities. Students will also earn entries into drawings for rewards at the end of each reward period. Teachers and staff members will place names of students on forms, and they will be placed in the drawing box located in the cafeteria. The rewards for the drawings will be announced in advance and awarded at pre-determined intervals. Expectations: • Be Safe • Be Respectful • Be Responsible Progressive Discipline Policy: Consequences for Inappropriate Behaviors: • 1st Offense Verbal Warning • 2nd Offense Parental Contact • 3rd Offense Behavior Report • 4th Offense Afternoon Detention • 5th Offense Teacher Parent Conference • 6th Offense Administrative Intervention/Referral (ISS, OS, etc.) Depending on the severity of the behavior, consequences may not follow this order.
