SCHOOL OR HOME SUSPENSION

In-school or home suspension will be given at the discretion of the principal for:

1. Truancy

2. Smoking on school property or possession or use of drugs or weapons.

3. Leaving school grounds without authorization

4. Stealing or cheating

5. Defiance of authority in action or language

6. Vandalism

7. Continuous and willful disobedience

8. Other serious offenses as determined by the principal.

 

During in-school suspension, a student will be required to complete all school assignments and spend the entire day(s) away from school activities. If a child is suspended from school, parents must report for a conference, date of conference to be determined by the school principal. Failure to report for such conference will necessitate your child being withheld from class until said conference has transpired.

A student who persistently commits transgressions will be expelled from school after proper procedures have been taken. In all cases involving possible expulsion from school, the parents of the student will be notified as soon as possible. An appointment shall be mutually arranged for the school administrator, principal, parents and students to confer.

The school reserves the right to suspend or dismiss any student whose conduct and/or influence is considered detrimental to the best interests of the school or injurious to the welfare of the student body.

Students are expected to respect and treat one another with kindness. Respect requires us to treat our own life and person as having inherent value. It also requires us to treat all other human beings as having dignity and rights equal to our own.
