• 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.
