Discipline Protocol Disrespect & inappropriate language toward staff will not be tolerated. School Board Policy 6410.4 and 6410.8
Rationale; A strict enforcement to maintain civility and support the integrity of the school and its professionals.

1. This is inappropriate verbal, non-verbal, or physical conduct in presence of, directed to or directed toward a staff member.
2. Depending on the intensity, severity, and duration of the offense, a student may be suspended out of school for any violation of this rule.

Rationale; Head coverings interfere with identification of students. Some head gear is associated with gang affiliation.

• Inside the building, at any time. This includes after school activities and events.
• Students will be asked to surrender the head covering. Staff member will turn item in to the front office and enter incident into SAM.

• C. If a student refuses to surrender the item, staff will refer the student to the appropriate administrator via SAM. Teachers should also follow up via email or phone to appropriate administrator to assure a prompt response. Students that refuse to adhere to this policy will be suspended out of school for each offense, with the suspensions increasing in length with each subsequent refusal incident.

School Board Policy 6426.1 and 6426.4
Rationale; Cell phones and MP3/MP4 type devices have been increasingly stolen, caused verbal and physical altercations, and created distractions in school. Texting has encouraged cheating, a violation of School Board Policy 6445.1, and facilitated distribution of illegal items.

• Anywhere on campus, 7:55 bell to 3:00 bell (including SMART Lunch). This includes cell phones and any music devices.
• Students will be asked to surrender the cell phone and/or music device. Staff member will turn item in to front office and enter incident into SAM.
• If a student refuses to surrender the item, staff will refer the student to the appropriate administrator via SAM. Teachers should also follow up via email or phone to appropriate administrator to assure a prompt response. Students that refuse to adhere to this policy will be suspended out of school for each offense, with the suspensions increasing in length with each subsequent refusal incident.
1. 1st offense: Confiscation of item. Parent or legal guardian must pick up item.
2. 2nd offense: Confiscation of item. Parent or legal guardian must pick up & ASD is assigned.
3. 3rd offense: Confiscation of item. Parent or legal guardian must pick up & OSS is assigned.

*** All teachers are encouraged to confiscate all items, i.e. cell phones, MP3 players, etc . . . & head coverings covered under these policies. Once items are taken from students, we have a legal obligation to properly secure them. Teachers are strongly encouraged to turn the items in to the main office as soon as possible so it can be under lock and key. Thanks for your support!) ***

Rationale; We must hold students responsible for the time they are required to be in class, reduce class disruption due to late entries, and reduce the time that teachers are distracted from instruction. We also are accountable for all student movement during the instructional day.

1. Students arriving in class after the tardy bell are late to class. Teachers should assign ASD to students for being tardy to class. A "no-show" in ASD may result in OSS.
2. Students must always have a pass if in the hall between classes. This pass should indicate the name of the student's classroom teacher, the destination, date and time.
3. Students must not be in the hallways with or without passes the first 15 minutes of each period.
4. SMART Lunch: Students should remain in one location from bell to bell during lunch or tutorial. Each student must have a pass to be permitted to leave any classroom or lunch area at any time.

*** To re-establish an on-time culture in the school, the administration will conduct period by period "lock outs" for the first three weeks of the second semester. During this time frame, tardy students must not be allowed to enter any class without an authorized signed pass for that period. The administration will assign ASD for each student late to class.***
