Behavior
While I and our team in the elementary school believe in Positive Discipline, we have a large number of students who are disrespectful to their peers and teachers, continually disrupt the learning taking place and are fighting and using extremely inappropriate language. Therefore, we must make some adjustments to our behavior management systems.
After School Detention: As we continue to try to manage behaviors we will be placing the following into our procedures:
- If a student demonstrates three (3) disruptive incidents within a class during a day, the student will receive an automatic after school detention
- The teacher will email parents regarding the date of the detention
- The student must show up to the detention on the date required. While this may interfere with outside activities, school and behavior come first. We need parental support to help us help our students take ownership and responsibility for their mistakes and for interrupting their, and their classmates, learning while in class
- Three (3) after school detentions will lead to an automatic In School Suspension
