Team Discipline Policy
Our team is working together to ensure the best learning environment for our students. To that end, we are implementing a "3 Strikes" system for behavior issues.
- Strike 1: Warning
- Strike 2: Parent Contact
- Strike 3: After School Detention and Parent Contact
We will start fresh each week to allow students the opportunity to improve and make wise behavior choices.
