DIGNITY
Students and parents are expected to abide by all school rules and academic policies. Should
students violate school policies and procedures, teachers and administrators will take steps to
ensure students are able to get back on track. Teachers use a variety of methods to alert
parents of concerns in their classroom including Class Dojo, e-mails, written or telephone
notifications and detentions (Grades 7-8).
Please be advised discipline is an aspect of moral guidance and not a form of punishment. The
purpose of discipline is to provide a school climate conducive to learning and one that
promotes character development. Discipline is maintained in a classroom or school when
students work cooperatively with the administration, the teachers, and their classmates toward
the attainment of the class and school objectives. However, it should be noted that the
legitimate interests of the school extend beyond the school day and beyond the school hours.
All official meetings regarding student’s behavior and academics will be conducted with
parents and the legal guardian of children only.
Parent Cooperation: It is expected that all parents will support the decision of the
administration regarding discipline issues for their child knowing that the school has done it’s
best to investigate the situation and render a fair and just outcome giving consideration to a
student’s age and circumstances. Please be advised that administration will only discuss your
child’s involvement and your child’s discipline with you. The involvement of other students and
the discipline of other students will not be discussed.
