Behavior Expectations and Code of Conduct
Discipline
The BOE Policy regarding discipline( P5131) governs student behavior in all Enfield Schools.
Detention Policy
A teacher / administrator may assign a lunch or after school detention to any student for the violation of any school policy or procedure. The teacher / administrator will notify the parents, in writing, of the offense and the time when the detention will be served.
Suspension
Suspension is a disciplinary action taken by the school when other means have failed to change the student’ s disregard for standard school procedures. Prior to the student’ s re-entry to school, a parent / guardian conference may be required with the school administration.
In-School suspension is a disciplinary action used for continued minor infractions of school regulations. If a student does not comply with the expectations of In-School Suspension, that student will have to serve the remainder of the suspension or additional days as an out-of-school suspension.
Continued violations that are seriously disruptive to the learning environment will result in suspensions out of school.
