Discipline
Maintaining discipline and an orderly climate in our school is essential
for teaching and learning to occur. We ask that parents support and
assist us in this important area. We ask that proper behavior be taught
at home to reduce the occurrence of misbehavior at school.
Each
student has the right to learn as much as he/she can. We will not
permit any student to prevent another student from learning. We will not
permit any student to engage in behavior that is not in his/her best
interest.
Class
rules may vary among classrooms. However, all rules will be clearly
stated and will be fairly and consistently enforced. Rules and
consequences for each classroom are posted.
We
believe that all students can behave. By the time we make the decision
to contact parents, your child will have made several choices not to
behave.
The following are general rules of conduct we expect all students to observe:
-
Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself.
-
No running or pushing in the building.
-
No toys, including radios, tape players, etc. (Exception: Sharing time with permission of the teacher in primary grades.)
-
Do not bring gum, candy, or bottled/canned drinks to school.
-
No tobacco products are allowed.
-
Knives will not be permitted at school. If knives are found, they will be taken and returned only to the parent.
-
Profane language or fighting is expressly prohibited.
-
Respect the property of others.
-
Always show proper respect to staff members and visitors.
