• Speaks with honor to and about teachers and students

• Does not participate in gossip or spreading of rumors

• Does nothing out of selfish ambition

• Considers others as better than him/herself

• Looks out for the interest of others

 

Order of Discipline

This protocol is given in this year’s Family Guide

  • Teacher gives a clear warning to stop distracting or destructive behavior, and will allow the student to continue participating in class.
  • Teacher gives a clear second warning, and will remove the student from the group. The TA should supervise the “timeout”, so the teacher can continue with the class. A parent may be called in to assist in class for the day.
  • Three strikes, you’re out - the TA will locate the parent, and transfer responsibility of the child to the parent. The child will be welcome to return the following week.
  • The teacher should clearly communicate with the parent about the incident, preferably in person or over the phone, not text or email. Work together to come up with a game plan to avoid similar incidents in the future.
  • Leadership may call a meeting to help mediate and help reach a solution. Two meetings or any instance of extremely dangerous/inappropriate behavior, bullying or physical violence may be grounds for dismissal. Final decisions will be made by the leadership team.
