Student Discipline
Please do not send WINGS students back to their program early for discipline issues. I had a talk with Mr. Roosevelt about this the week we got out and he would appreciate if we dealt with the issues we have with students in-house and adhere to the 3:00-4:30 time slot that we have with those students.
Ms. Wright created a student discipline referral form to keep track of any behaviors that do not align with our core values. When you turn in a form, she compiles and summarizes the information on a spreadsheet in the One Drive folder. We want to also begin implementing the "three strikes and you're out" strategy with this documentation, meaning that if a student obtains three discipline referrals then they will be exited from the program. We already have one student who has reach this limit, and it will be dealt with accordingly this week.
