Philosophy of Discipline (7-12)

Helping children to develop self-discipline and to conduct themselves in an acceptable manner is a major behavioral objective of the school as well as of the home. Parents may assume that a student's behavior is satisfactory or better unless they are notified. In most cases, it is believed that a call will suffice -- if not, the parents may be asked to come to the school for a conference in order to affect an acceptable solution to the problem.

 

The school will expect and demand nothing less than good conduct on the part of students. It is believed that the above-described procedure will be effective in achieving a desirable learning atmosphere and in guiding students toward assuming a greater degree of responsibility for their behavior. It should be fully understood that any student whose conduct interferes with the learning process of others will be removed from the classroom and dealt with accordingly.
