If a student violates any of the policies above (uniform, absence,
tardiness, homework, safety of self and others, respect of property),
they may be referred to the office at the discretion of the teacher
or adult working with the child. Depending upon the specific circumstances
surrounding the student’s behavior, a student may remain
in the office for a "time out" period, and an appropriate
consequence will be devised. Depending on the violation, a student’s
parent or guardian might be called to immediately pick up the
child and the student will remain in the office until he/she is
picked up. Detentions may be served during lunch, after school,
or on Saturdays.
After the third office referral of a student, the following
action will be taken:
- The parent/guardian will be called and informed of the child’s
violation(s).
- Within one week, the parent will be required to attend a
conference at the school and to observe the child in his/her
classroom(s) for at least one hour.
- A plan of action will be devised with the student, teacher(s),
administrator, and parent to improve the child’s behavior.
- If the child is referred a fourth time, after the above interventions,
a suspension may result.
Classroom Formal Observation Time
After a child’s third office referral, the student’s
parent or guardian may be required to come to school and to sit
with the student in his or her classroom(s) and through school
activities. The observation must be for at least one hour and
perhaps more, depending on the violation. If the parent is not
cooperative and does not attend the formal observation, the student
may be suspended at home and then considered for expulsion.
