“The bringing up, as of a child; instruction; formation of manners. Education comprehends all that series of instructions and discipline, which is intended to enlighten the understanding, correct the temper, and form the manners and habits of youth, and fit them for usefulness in their future stations.” Webster’s 1828 Dictionary

To help “form the manners and habits of our youth” the following system is used:

Classroom Rules:

• Listen when someone else is talking
• Raise your hand for permission to talk
• Sit in your chair properly
• Keep hands to yourself
• Walk in the building
• Treat everyone with respect
• Obey all adults willingly

Disciplinary Procedures:

• Each student will have their name on a chart with three colored shapes beside it.
• Each time a student disobeys a rule, one shape is removed. 
• If the student loses all three shapes, he will be asked to sit in the hall for a period of time.
• (One minute per year for the age of the child.)  During this time, the classroom aide will explain the rule they disobeyed and pray with the child, reassuring them that they are love but must obey.
• If a child is removed from the room, the parent will be notified and an Information Notice will be sent home.

If a child continues to misbehave after re-entering the room, a parent will be required to sit with the student during class the following week.

The Information Form is the method by which we communicate concerns with parents. Information Forms may be given for incomplete homework assignments, dress guideline violations, or tardiness. 

The Infraction Notice is sent for more severe violations. An Infraction Notice may be given for continual poor performance on homework, repeated violation of the dress guidelines, chronic absenteeism, poor attitude, class disruption, and destruction to private property. In the event that a student receives a total of three infractions in a semester from tutors or the study hall monitor, a conference will be scheduled with the student, parents, and tutor. Thereafter the student will be placed on probation or suspended. A plan will be discussed to help the student correct the problem. If the student fails to cooperate and receives a fourth infraction, he or she will be suspended or dismissed for the remainder of the year. Consequences will be decided by the staff depending on the nature of the infraction.

Students may be dismissed immediately without notice for gross infractions such as cheating, lying, fighting, use of illegal sub-stances, or immoral behavior.
