Disorderly Conduct

Rude display of conduct and fighting are not allowed on school property. Display of any inappropriate behavior is not acceptable. PDA or public display of affection can also be a big issue. Back-talking a teacher will earn a student a discipline referral. Physical violence against a teacher, bus driver, or other school personnel from a student will be punished.

Disciplinary actions will take place for any violation of the Code of Conduct and can result in any of the following as specified in the student handbook:

*warning and/or counseling with a school administrator or counselor

*loss of privileges

*isolation or ISP/ISS

*temporary removal from class or activity

*notification of parents

*parent conference

*detention

*temporary placement in an alternative education program

*short term suspension

*referral to a tribunal for long-term suspension or expulsion

*referral to law enforcement or juvenile court officials

Rules are enacted to protect students and ensure a climate where learning can take place.
