Compliance with the standards of conduct is mandatory.  The following standards are set forth in the laws of this state and others are rules or regulations designed to enhance the operation of the school and the interaction between people. 

1)    Student conduct is expected to reflect consideration for the personal and property rights of others and should reflect an understanding of the need for cooperation among members of our school community.

2)    The following is a list of some (but not all) of the school and activity-related offenses that are punishable by the administrator:
        a.    Destruction of our school property or of schools visited.

3)    Students may be withheld from participating or attending activities by the administrator should he/she not show good citizenship while in attendance at school and/or prior to beginning an activity. (ex. - sports, field trips, class parties)

4)    The following is a listing of infractions that may occur.  Infractions are subject to loss of recess, discipline notice, detention, suspension/expulsion, or restitution of property damaged.  Many disciplinary decision factors, such as a student‚s prior record, the degree of severity of the infraction, the circumstances of the situation, the effect or danger to persons or property, are taken into consideration when dealing with these infractions.  Each infraction and student will be handled individually.  This list is a sampling of possible infractions, and other cases may be dealt with in a similar manner.
        a)    Fighting/conduct dangerous to others
        b)    Stealing
        c)    Offensive language, gestures, sexual harassment, vulgarity
        d)    Defacing, destroying, or theft of property, unlawfully entering a building
        e)    Defiance of authority, failure to comply with direction of adult school employee, gross disrespect of
               school employee
        f)    Truancy
        g)    Lying and/or forgery
        h)    Use of drugs, alcohol, and/or any other controlled substances

    Each student will be given every opportunity to conform to school regulations concerning dismissal from classes.  Teachers will attempt to see to it that each student is given a fair chance and that disciplinary action is not a spur of the moment decision based on temporary irritation or flare of anger.  Whenever a teacher feels he/she has exhausted every reasonable approach to helping a student correct unacceptable behavior with no noticeable improvements, the teacher may send the student to the administrator‚s office.
