Discipline Policy

Over the next three weeks I will be placing the discipline policy as it is written in the school handbook on the blog. This is the first posting of this part of the handbook.

General Misconduct:

Any behavior which disrupts, interferes with, or detracts from learning. Examples of such prohibited behaviors include, but are not limited to:


 Talking in class without permission
 Not having a pencil or other materials
 Walking around the classroom
 Throwing things in the classroom
 Sleeping in class
 Tipping back in chair
 Running in the hallway
 Chewing gum inappropriately
 Arriving late to class
 Tapping pencil
 Slamming books on desk
 Looking out the window
 Shouting out in class
 Physical contact that could result in possible injury or harm. (including wrestling/ horseplay/ etc.)
 Dress code violation
 Academic dishonesty/ Cheating
 Technology/Acceptable Use Policy violation

Responsible Thinking Process:
1st disruption – The student is always asked the RTP questions.
2nd disruption – The student has chosen to go to the RTC.
*Grade reduction for plagiarism/cheating

The student writes a plan in the RTC and returns to class after negotiating his/her return with the teacher. This should take place without any further disruptions to the classroom.
