CONSEQUENCES OF INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR Inappropriate behavior may result in denial of certain privileges, teacher detention, Saturday School, In-School Suspension( ISS), Out-of School Suspension( OSS), or expulsion.
DETENTION Detention is a class-level response to inappropriate behavior assigned by the classroom teacher before or after school. Failure to report when assigned will result in referral to the administrator for disciplinary actions.
SATURDAY SCHOOL Saturday School is a form of in-school detention. Saturday School dates will be determined by the Administration. Students assigned to Saturday School shall report to the Main Office entrance of the school before 8:00 a. m. where they will be assigned a detention room from 8:00 a. m. to 12:00 p. m. Failure to attend Saturday School when assigned will result in two days of ISS. Students arriving late to Saturday School will not be admitted and will be written a referral for failure to attend Saturday School.
IN-SCHOOL SUSPENSION( ISS) The purpose of in-school suspension is to provide an alternative to the standard practice of sending a student home when it becomes necessary to suspend from regular school activities. Students assigned to ISS will be removed from their regular classes / school activities and placed in a special isolated classroom. The ISS classroom is a strictly-controlled environment in which students are not allowed contact with other students in the room and only minimal contact with the instructor.
Class assignments will be sent by the student’ s teachers or available on the teachers’ blogs, and the student will work on these assignments during the assigned ISS time. Students and their parents will sign a contract with admission to the ISS program, with the understanding that the students is responsible for all work missed while in ISS and must turn it in the day they return to class. Missed assignments not submitted upon the student’ s return to class receive no credit. Students in ISS may NOT participate in or attend any school activity on days assigned to ISS, including activities that are located off-campus.
OUT-OF-SCHOOL SUSPENSION( OSS) Certain types of misbehavior can result in out-of-school suspension. Suspended students may not be on campus or any other school’ s campus at any time during the days of suspension nor may they participate in any school-related activities during the suspension. If an out-of-school suspension is for more than a total of ten school days, a student may petition for a hearing to appeal the suspension. The due process procedure must be followed.
