TEXTBOOKS • Textbooks are school property. • If you vandalize or damage school textbooks, you will be required to pay the replacement fee for that textbook.
UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR & CONSEQUENCES • This year we have changed our discipline code to leveled offenses. This gives the teacher more options when dealing with inappropriate behavior. • Each time a students breaks the discipline code he/she will be disciplined according to the offense and how many times the student has broken this offense. The goal is to discourage and correct inappropriate behaviors in school. • We will have a large variety of incentives and student recognition opportunities this school year for students who behave appropriately, who get to school and class on time, and for students who come to school everyday.
ANNOUNCEMENTS • Everyday in the announcements we will remind you of the cell phone policy and the policy of not leaving the classroom the first and last 10 minutes of class. • As the year gets started we will also announce at the end of the day, the number of tardies for the day and the number of disciplinary actions sent to the office for the day. This keeps you informed of what students are doing in your school.
