of the faculty.
Consequences Each teacher has their own set of rules and consequences if those rules
are not followed. If
a student continues
to make poor choices, the teacher may send their student to an administrator
(the assistant principal or
principal). In more serious situations, such as fighting, verbal
abuse or bringing weapons or drugs to school, the student may automatically be sent to an administrator. The following are consequences for being sent to an administrator:
1st Offense: Speak with an administrator and the parents are called
2nd Offense: Speak with an administrator, a consequence is decided on, the parents are called
3rd Offense: Suspension for the rest of the day
4th Offense: Suspension for a day or more
Violence
against another student or staff member will not be tolerated and will result
in a suspension or expulsion.
Suspensions A student can be suspended or be expelled from school for certain offenses
like bringing weapons, fighting, theft or destruction of property. A
suspension can last from one day or until the end of the school year (expulsion). A
student can be expelled if their presence in school constitutes a clear threat
to the security and health of the others.
Dress
Code Students are expected to dress in a manner that contributes to an effective learning environment. Wearing clothing that is disruptive, provocative,
revealing, profane, vulgar, offensive or obscene, or that endangers
the health or safety of the student or others is prohibited. Examples
of prohibited dress or appearance include, but are not limited to:
exposed undergarments
sagging pants
excessively short or tight
garments
bare midriff shirts
strapless shirts
attire with messages
or illustrations that are lewd, indecent or vulgar or that advertise
any product or service not permitted by law to minors
head covering
of any kind that is not affiliated with the student's religious beliefs
see-through clothing
any adornment such as chains or spikes that reasonably could be
perceived as or used as a weapon
any symbols, styles or attire
frequently associated with intimidation, violence or violent groups
about which students at a particular school have been notified.
If a student’s dress or
appearance is such that it constitutes a threat to the health or safety of
others, distracts the attention of other students or staff from their work,
or otherwise violates this dress code, an administrator may require the student to change his or her dress or appearance. A
second or repeated violation of this policy may result in disciplinary action.
