Discipline Guidelines
  1. The first warning is verbal
  2. On the second warning, the student will be sent to a specified area where he/she must remain quiet until a teachers conference can be held to correct the unacceptable behavior and determine consequences to be applied should the behavior persist.
  3. The third warning will result in a detention. A form will be sent home with the student containing the behavior and date and time of the detention. This slip must be returned the next school day signed by the parent/guardian. Any detention will require the student to give a written account of the behavior
    and steps for improvement.
  4. Failure to sit quietly in the specified area or a fourth warning may require the removal of a student by the teacher or an administrator to the office. In this case the student will receive a detention and/or an office consequence.
  5. Serious offenses will be dealt with immediately to step 4. Such offenses may include, fighting, bullying or harassment of any kind.
  6. Any student who fails to return a detention slip or stay for his/her detention will receive double time and a phone call will be made to the home. Any further miss will result in notification to the office.

Make Up Options

Anytime a student is absent from class, the student is responsible for making up his/her class. The student may earn his/her participation points back by doing one of the following for each class missed. This also applies to students who are unable to participate due to a medical waiver. For each absence students may earn back the maximum points (10) for the time lost. Points will be awarded based on completeness of assignment, neatness and proper documentation for any make up work listed below. On all work, be sure to include your name, date, grade and section number. All assessment work must be completed as missed.
  1. Report
    Write a one page factual report on the history, rules, skills and/or terminology of a sport, fitness activity or recreational activity for each class missed.
