Policy for Severe Behavior

Severely disruptive behavior such as repeated disruptions, fighting, cursing, physical assault, or verbal abuse of the teacher will result in immediate referral to the assistant principal or school security officer.

Consequences for Disruptive Behavior

1st Offense: A verbal warning will be given when a minor classroom or school rule is broken, unless the discipline code calls for a referral.

2nd Offense: A 2nd verbal warning will be given and may be accompanied by a telephone call to the parent/ guardian. A one on one student/teacher conference will occur regarding specific behavior.

3rd Offense: If the problem persists after a verbal warning, students will be given a “improvement homework assignment”, which will be accompanied by a telephone call to the parent/ guardian.

4th Offense: If the problem persists a referral will be given along with a lowering of the citizenship grade.

Specific Behavior Violations

The instructor is particularly strict with enforcing the consequence for insubordination towards the teacher. Please do not argue with the teacher during class. If you feel you were wrongly identified as misbehaving, submit your explanation in writing and/or prepare to discuss the matter calmly with the teacher after class or after school. This policy is for the good of the group; please respect that.
