DISCIPLINE & CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS
Each teacher will hand out and explain an expectations sheet. This will inform the student of his/her teacher's classroom rules, regulations, grading system, and the course outline. Students who are not in compliance with the class expectations may be referred to the principal for disciplinary action. All incidents will be recorded and may become a part of their permanent record.

DETENTION
Detention is a reasonable form of discipline for students not exhibiting appropriate behavior and cooperation. Teachers or administrators can assign detention to students. Detention assigned by teachers will be served with the teacher assigning the detention. Any detention assigned by the principal will be served after school in the principal’s office unless other arrangements are made.

Detention will be served within a reasonable time or it will be doubled. Exceptions must be approved by the teacher assigning detention. If it is determined that the student is not making a reasonable effort to serve the detention, the student may be suspended.

SUSPENSION (IN-SCHOOL)
In-school suspension may be assigned to a student by the principal for any infraction of the behavior code. Any student placed on in-school suspension will receive full credit for make-up work completed. If a second in-school suspension is needed for the same offense, a conference may be held with the parent/guardian, the student, the counselor, and the principal before the student is re-admitted to the class.

The Board Policy Handbook has detailed information concerning Student Suspension (Out-of –School-Temporary) and Student Expulsion (Permanent).

PUBLIC DISPLAYS OF AFFECTION (PDA)
PDA includes but is not limited to: walking arm in arm, kissing, sitting on the lap of another student, laying legs or other body parts of a student on another student and/or any other behavior that is deemed inappropriate. Inappropriate PDA will be determined by staff and administration and will be dealt with immediately as outlined in the discipline procedures as approved by the local Board of Education. PDA will not be allowed on school grounds during school or at any school function.
