Building Discipline Plan
Teachers are expected to implement classroom interventions, including student conferences and parent contact, prior to referral of students to administration. If classroom interventions do not positively impact student behavior, teachers may refer students to administration. In the event that a referral is made to administration, assigning teachers must document contact with the parent/guardian by telephone, email, home visitor, or in person. Administration will meet with the referred student and assign the appropriate discipline based upon the discipline matrix below.
Students at DOHS are expected to meet the following guidelines:
- Attend every class, every day unless excused by parents/guardians or school events
- Make it to class on time every period, every day.
- Treat every student, staff, and community member with respect
- Talk in class at appropriate levels
- Follow reasonable directions of staff members
- Follow all policies and guidelines contained in the student handbook
