Administrator reviews future disciplinary steps at a mandatory meeting with parents, teachers and administrators. Unruly conduct in the classroom may lead to isolation from the group. Playground problems may lead to temporary suspension from playground activities. In addition our school complies with all state laws regarding consequences of a student's action on school grounds. Dismissal, Referral, Suspension, Expulsion Dismissal usually occurs because of poor attendance or failure to pay tuition .
Referral takes two forms.
For unusual behavior problems we suspect are beyond a child's control, we refer the parent to outside professional help. Suspension is for repeated harm to property or to the physical safety of other children and is done at the sole discretion of the administrator in consultation with the teacher. A Peace Conference is called when two or more students are involved in a conflict that they are unable to resolve on their own. During a Peace Conference the teacher serves as a mediator to make sure that each side has a chance to express their feelings and concerns and listen to the other party's feelings and concerns. Each party has the opportunity to speak for a few minutes, without interruption, and the teacher pauses to make sure the other party can express what the speaker has said.
