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.
